Reverie

 Relaxed, I lie back

 Your voice echoes softly

 And I sink into reverie

 Contrasts. Hanging strands

 I am drifting…

 Over the edge, sliding

 Sticky, syrup mouth 

 Your words trapped

 Into slow motion

 I look around the room

 Bright shadows lean

 Across your arms and legs

 Words are speckled dust

 Suspended in the light

 Then gently falling.

 I return

 Remember I’m with you

 Listening again

 But I will never know

 Where you were

 What you said

 I forget the moment.

 And still…still……still……..

 You are warm beside me
