she was a dream

she was a dream
soft
and ephemeral
a dream
in which i loved
the way demented nuns
love god

she was a dream
and i
a dreamer
it was the perfect
dream
from which
i would not wake

and yet i sit
writing of Gertrude Stein
and Hemingway
unable to sleep
unable to dream

she was a dream
and i cannot sleep
to see her
