August Dream

Oh, Anna,
of bones singing now through garden soiled notes
beneath echinacea and hummingbirds come to drink, I dreamed
it was you last night dancing across the sky. Only to wake
to a knife stabbing memory straight into my ears
when clear as a bell you fell silent in the dawn.

And I heard once again, the gray of time passing.
