SEVEN

seven consecutive dreams of
       YOU
  in Dream One
 you painted my body
      sky blue
and in Dream Two
   you tossed my tears
into the sea
   - I forget the premise
    of Dream Three
Dream Four was an orgasm
    we shared over brunch
Dream Five featured me feeding
    you a bunch
 of seedy grapes
Dream Six found us reviewing
  Willie Nelson tapes
And then like Heaven
 there came Dream Seven
in which you took me
  by surprise
and feasted with leisure
  on my butterflies...
