The Dreams

Dream 110

At the end of an exhausting errand, I came to a locked gate. Gathering all my remaining strength, I shook it till it began to open.

Beyond it I could see a lake, from which missiles were being launched into space. As each one exploded in the air, it lit up the face of a former lover — the heavens were filled with those I adored.

Yet still I wait for the glowing face of the one who taught me love, who made me long to live forever.
