her distant memories
gave way to dreams of
blurred birds and
thin-bodied blades
of grass touching
bare skin of hesitant
moving legs
soft-step foot paths through
still wilderness

in REM
insecurity creeps as hidden
snakes, only the rustling heard
devouring her
mouse spirit
only a forgotten gasp heard 
by her sleeping partner

and in the morning
she retreats to the chill of
insulated rooms and the ac drip;
she falls asleep,
this time, to the 
cubicle shrill phone ring
and she dreams
of dreaming
in forests

i love this so much - how your words slip in & out of dreams themselves.
