once again I had a dream
in which I saw reflections
of your light..
Morpheus, the cruel trickster,
sprinkled it over my eyelids
in the dead of night..

I had a dream that you were driving somewhere
and I was driving right behind..
and through your rearview mirror
the two of us were staring longingly
into each other’s eye..

it is said that objects in the mirror
are closer than they seem,
but then again, what is a mirror..
if not a silly fantasy?
if not a meaningless dream…
