No Reality, Only Dream

so here we are now
face-to-disbelieving-face
caught in all that could be
trapped by all that is
a lingering aftershock
brought on by a touch
how much is reality?
how much is a dream?

what shows in your eyes
keeps me warm at night
but a chill overtakes me
come the light of dawn
an empty blanket-covered space
where you don't sleep
reminds me: no reality,
only dream
