last night

i dreamt of you because lately i let you be

that dream



buoyed moments afloat that never sink to

become stained

in water



but half way through

the sweetness of your face at the bay

when we peeled oranges and let the peels

fall away from our hearts



i remembered

banging

my head

against your driveway

that new years

when we both

wanted to die



and how i dream of you because i need

a dream to dream

and you will always be

buoyed moments

unattached to the rising tidal wave

coming for me
