caroline sent me a message today.
she’d been in bed, half asleep,
then all of a sudden fully awake
thinking about you.
this has been the first cloudy day
in a long time.
are you around here, somewhere?
are you watching me from the sky?
are you a part of the earth?
sometimes, when my fingers go numb
in the middle of the night
or the cat cries to be let outside
and i’m not quite asleep
but not quite awake
i feel someone standing over me.
is it you,
or countless others like you?
is it me,
wishing for you
in my dreams?
