Yesterday Dreams
Only yesterday you dreamed
you saw me
but I wasn’t seen amongst clotted weeds,
nor did I smiling reply,
hold out my arms,
entwine us both in unpractised charms.
Drained clouds dripping
listless overhead
returning you the things
you think we said,
that I called you Mistress,
you me Master,
grief passing until we lovers sleep forever,
giving assent for we both have
others now
but love remains somehow. Push ploughs
over small talk shared
between you and I
hiding in your head under umbered skies,
built static congesting in your
aching brain
stuffs hollow spaces, blocks
holes in drains
as waters sprint to
satisfy all empty cracks
below nimbostratus painting futures black,
little left to motivate leaves
who hang slack
stirless and they haven’t even
checked back
or dared a breath. Your wilful rainfall drums,
drowns summer places where I didn't come.
