Written for:  Poetic Asides 2023 April PAD Challenge - Day 25

"Two-for-Tuesday - Write a dream poem and/or a reality poem."


So many day are odd, no longer even
except in my dreams, which I rely on
to embrace you, taste you.  Oh, the
thought of how we melded in night,
city lights illuminating room, my 
clothes strewn about.  My lover, my friend.
Then I wake, and remember how you died.

Golden Shovel form - sentence taken from
a poem by James Davis May
