occurrences at the break of dawn
I’ve repeating dreams
experiencing violent deaths
but each morning
I awaken unharmed
the occurrences are infrequent
but make no mistake
the pattern cannot be overlooked
each episode unrelated to the next
periodically I wonder
or better yet analyze the meaning
behind these dreams
whether what I’m witnessing
has absolutely nothing to do with me
and everything to do with you
august two thousand nineteen
