Dreamcatcher

Each word rings in her ears
like the pierce of an
early morning alarm clock
every encouragement is carried like
a diamond ring in the chest
pocket of her most comfortable shirt
he is an embrace with the lights off
a paper cup with her hands wrapped
around to take the chill out
he is the reassurance of change
and the keeper of her thoughts
on a chilly April evening

She will dream of him again tonight
