I had a dream last night
and you were in it
but not naturally.
I think I willed you
into focus
from memories
of those Winter telephone calls
once abundant.
Spirits would sweat
through telephone pores
in the form of whispers
while blistered ears
hungered for the warmth
of the following breath.
But now what's left
is a shade of December.
Recollections of a weather
once set
to a skyline so clear,
a tickling breeze.
A slumberjack,
somnambunently treading through the woods
of his mind,
chopping and harvesting
what memory bark remains
instead of just
planting new trees.
You had me wondering all day what this poem was about. And you didn't disappoint. Love it! Especially the last stanza, very creative.
