You
All night I dreamed you, or think I did, color turned black-and-white cool, fall, you working our garden, or so it seemed, lingering over desert fern, Balsam root Asian transplant, lilac patch never quite taken, bruised blue rhubarb, until fall, on waking, wore itself out, flora-cum-frost, season never tough enough to stay the course, you past a day.
