Twilight Narrative

Long dream this morning
The kind when I wake
Then fall asleep again
About Bill
We took a trip together
Which we had never done
Some kind of blazing thing
A celebration of
The Midwest
Though we knew each other
In school
In the East
x
I got mad
And sad
Because I wanted to talk
With Bill about something
Happening to me
That I didn’t like my life
In Harrisburg
Wanting to say so
Wanting encouragement
Even advice
And he’d said nothing
x
I challenged him on that
A while later
(long dream)
And we got nowhere with it
We could perform
But we could not talk
Not for real
x
I woke up, realizing that
Bill would not go on another
Trip with me
And that was doubly frustrating
Mad
And sad
And then I remembered
That Bill
Had died
A brief while ago
x
My college roommate gone
With earthly friendship
Following
And I am sad
And sad
And sad

Bill liked root beer, Dad’s; root beer is brown and dreams are wavy
