TWO DREAMS (for LSH)

I saw a bundle on the road
And people stopped to aid –
I stalled my car and ran to help –
I saw my friend was dead –

She tried to open up her eyes
When I breathed out her name –
Resuscitation was too late –
Revival never came.

And then I dreamed I needed help –
I didn’t have a ride –
My friend appeared and offered aid –
We ran so fast and wide –

We sprinted roads – we vaulted walls –
It didn’t seem that far –
We passed the schoolroom where she taught –
We found her new white car.
