I dreamed about you
    two nights ago,
    a false echo of
three hour phone conversations

he said he liked you
because you were honest,
said your words loud and bright and sharp and
jagged, never mind who it hit,
where it hit,
meteorites can only
                                     fall,
he said you
                       didn't--
                                        wouldn't--
                                                              couldn't--   
                                                                                    care.

you were gentle though.
        maybe that was a mercy,
   maybe that was a mistake.
