dear paul

all we are is words on paper

dreams in slumber and dreams in daylight

the chances that you could also be writing me

from across the globe

why do i write to you?

why does your voice follow me in my dreams?

last night i dreamt of us conversing for hours

your creaky voice is burned into my minds ear

if there is power in attraction

in this universe

then my naive ego believes i could will you to me

like demanding the tide come

i could pull you upon my shore
