Limbo
from The John Poems
I tumble from a dream
into the nightmare of waking.
I claw my way back toward sleep
but can find no purchase.
So just like that, you are gone,
And my half-healed wounds bleed anew
As reality steals you away and, with it
my happiness and the
wish that dreams were mine to choose.
