Tell me about the dream where we wake in between notebook

pages you and I, the two kinds of decay,

synchronous with a deserving narrative.

            It begins with you kneeling over the creek behind my childhood

home flicking water with your middle finger

            reassuring me that it was alright to go back,

            and to say things reminiscent of regret

like,

            “His spirit told me to keep it a secret,” and that “Her body

told a short

                        short

story.”

            In the backyard by the unhinged screen door you kissed me

                        and squeezed my fatty triceps

                        and said, “I think I’ll stay the night, for you.”

            I said, “I thought that would be alright,” and that

                        I’d make up the sofa.

            I had been living alone so long that

            later I pissed with the door open

                        and you walked through the hallway to the kitchen

                        nearly spattering your original Yoplait

                        all over the picture of my mother standing

                                                              behind my father resting

                                    her hands nervously sweet

                                    over his cocked shoulders.
