Dreamcatcher

I thought you were somebody
else (or, rather, that somebody else
was you).  But when this fearful slumber
ceases, I wonder: will the rest be silence?
Still, if every moment is composed
by some music of the past--
How ever can I be rid of you?

A variation on a theme--
that is, now, how I remember you,
with every stranger, passing
pretty, in your face--
Dreamcatcher, bewitcher,
bereft in a beguiling brevity, blue:
I know--
...it wasn't love.
