black swans watched

Last night I dreamed

I ran barefoot through the midnight fields

Dancing like a wild gypsy under the moon

Dancing and dancing

Until the sweat ran in little rivers

Down my back

And the black swans watched from their dark waters

I saw you face in the night heat

I felt your eyes on my wet skin

I gave you

Pieces and shapes of my clothing

Falling to the ground

Falling and falling

Like me

Falling

No sound except my exhausted breathing

And the dry grass bending

And my thighs

My belly

My arms, my arms

Sighing

Over and over

And over again
