(9th poem)
That Night’s Dream
“Silenced”
level headed, above intellectual, and often humble
the humorous ways to each other we would mumble
an understanding of conversations between us two
dead centered, left of the middle, but with a side view
stood firmly with arms crossed and eyebrows raised
loud voices at different points for reasons made
the back and forth we played rythmatic games
we admitted when wrong and took deserved blame
tallied the arguments, apologies, and favors owed
drew terrible pictures when our minds were slowed
hand motions, nods, winks, and loving kisses blown
each of our similar but different points of views known
the impressionable conversations between us two
last played when I was in that dream with you
our heartbeats, when we held each other lovingly tight
that melodic tune with everything, was silenced that night
