I.
She walked toward me, dressed
She lay before me, undressed
—The only two scenes I remember
Of the girl from my dream
At the moment I was to have her,
I awoke,
Got up, went to the bathroom,
And almost forgot
Back in bed, I remembered
Hurried to sleep, hoping she would return
II.
Scratched my chest,
Sucked on my neck,
And swung her leg over
I stood on the side of the bed,
Laid her on her back,
And pulled her in close
Put my thumb in her mouth
And pressed on her molars
Plunged, as with my arm
Into a car motor
To reach a part, her heart
Unreachable
I was losing my strength
Worn out, but not finished
III.
So I closed my eyes and called
For the girl from my dream
She walked toward me, dressed
She lay before me, undressed
I could see her with my eyes closed
Feel her with my body
And my strength resurged
As in a hungry, hunting animal
I wrapped her hair, like a rope,
Around my hand, and pulled tighter
Galloping like a whipped steed
A horse will run to death, they say
