Sunlight slants through branches.
The ethereal girl dances
As the poet romances

She will dance
Once more
When Autumn winds roar,
And clothed in russet gown
We will lie down
And forever, sleep

We stop, I am not dead.
A few incoherent words are said
By one
Who is in his mind far gone.
I stay.
He moves away.

A day breaks much like any other.
Soon I may discover
What man drove that phantom car
And who we really are.
Perhaps he is me
