Near golden sunsets

Rested.
The sheets weren't twisted
this morning, a first in weeks.
But I know I dreamt of her;
I'm obviously glowing.

She hasn't visited my mind
in months; I'd thought she'd gone.
Apparently, even on the coast,
she knows when I need her.

After Mexico, she called,
and laughed at what she thought
was clearly a good jest.
Me, crossing the border.
She said I probably needed the sun.

I'm sure she needs it more.
California is depressing
this time of year; I think.
I still don't know why she left.

God, I wish I was in Cali.
Anything's better than
Dave's constant tirade.
My new boss. I want to kill him already.
I'm sure he feels the same.

On a worn out bookmark
tucked in a copy of Grisham's latest,
is her number.  I look at it
every night at least twice.
Once when I open the book,
once when I close it.

I should call her.
Take a vacation.
Hannah and Cali.
Sounds so nice.
Wonder if Dave will fire me
when I tell him I'll be back
in a few weeks.  

Guess we'll find out.

Divide me again.
