gothic dream
because you emailed me
i pulled you into one of my dreams
we were at some gathering of people
there were ancient buildings
dusty, of honey-colored stone
i was drawn to you
you pulled me aside and said
you had been hoarding some things
in a secret place
you had them stashed away
you were going to show me
maybe we could carry them back out
you seemed sick and weary
you seemed to stumble and swoon
i caught and held you
your head falling back
when i touched you
i knew things about you
i could feel you were deeply stricken
you had a wound that would never heal
could never be healed in this world
you had black angel wings
i pulled your head to my chest
cradled you
i began to cry
my tears felt hot
they were flowing out
it really hurt
sadness, loss
but it felt good too
you began to cry
your tears were like blood
i could feel them flowing and dripping
pouring onto my legs
when i woke up
i was surprised to find
my eyes weren’t very moist
only in dreams
can i really cry
