a dream

 a dream


i was leaving her for some reason

i was irreducibly sad

few items left 

heartache as backache 

ingly sad

not one stair led anywhere

blue handrails and low ceilings

these were the feelings i knew were unreal

a dream from a past   past caring 

recurring

the weight of it all

delaying the dawn of a realisation

that only a poem would exorcise 

if i put it down like a bomb

gently and back away slowly   slowly

there


run


after her and ask her to explain

why she left me in this dream all alone
