Topaz dreaming

Shades of November pour in through the window.
Born in the days of the archer,
I am O Great Optimist
with a topaz pendant hooked around my neck.

There is a white flash
that splashes into my bedroom from the outside -

everything is drenched in amber.

I am startled from sleep,
realizing that the burgundy spill from your arm

was just a bad
dream.









Author notes

...But it's not a bad dream. It's a terrible, terrible reality. And I'm incredibly worried about him.
