fever-like

fever-like dreams
this morning
several in a row
of reconcilliation and forgiveness
and lust thrown somewhere
in the mix.
you and i
just out of the cold
warm in a house somewhere
when it would hit me that this
wasn't a dream
this was real...
but inevitably
in my joy
i would see something
clearly not of the world
and that told me
exactly
where i was.

so this is the way the first two
ended.
in the third
the ending came when we realized
that the house
was burning
and we could not
get out.

for some reason
i woke thinking of t.s. eliot
and why is april the cruelest month
anyway?
college was a long time ago.
i can't remember.
doesn't matter -
it's march 23rd
and i can count.
soon
i will find out.
