cold weather dreams

so it's cold again
and the heat hasn't been turned on yet
(freakin third-
world country
state)
stayed up too late so i sleep in
this morning
waking at the usual time
then falling back
into dreams
of what was
and of things
that never were
but maybe should have been
before her
before the life i live
now
you and i naked
on the bed
in the time outside
time
the season beyond
seasons
and i knew if i searched for
reasons
you'd be gone
again
blown away on the breeze
coming through
the open door
so it must have been spring
but
not the last one
not the one that left us
exhilarated
and broken
so i reached over and touched you and
you disappeared
like smoke
