Painting by Jill Somoza
In Our Dreams
1.
In my dream, I could see
your exhaustion, and knowing
you were too proud
to sit down,
I went off to find you
a bed you could lie in.
2.
In yours, I was left
with children and dogs in the park
while you
were convincing the landlord
to let us have
even a small place
for even a week.
3.
Side by side in our bed, we
go off alone,
testing our separateness but
wondering
if the care that we have
for each other
will be enough, always,
to enable us
to return.
