A dream


last night I dreamed
I lost you to the Grim Reaper

in the relative darkness of an overcast day
you flew away on a black kite
never to return

despair hugged too tight
suffocating
waking me with an unbearable ache

in the first light of the morning
when reality was a revelation
I whispered to myself
he’s not gone, he’s not gone

but tell me darling
were you ever here?
