Meet You Running
I am thirty or eighty
asleep, awake, the same,
sliding around a slippery joinery
where dreams occlude phases of
my life.
a child…
a love…
a death…
Here I am without pain
squinting to a sandy ocean…
beside us, a dog smiles.
I flip through events, years.
Awake,
there is not even you, till I close my eyes
and meet you running.
