Your shadow darkened my door
As I lay dreaming in the night
And heard the pounding, pounding.
You came in, I know you did,
But your dream-face, to me
Was that of a pirate, eye patch
And all, with silky white hair.

And in my dream, you spoke to me,
As I desperately whimpered nine-one-one
Into the dream phone at my ear,
In response to your loud
And frightening entrance-
At which you laughed and bent and said

Softly to me,
“You have a three minute wait.”
Did you pass your hand before
My closed eyes, that I should
Not wake in your presence?
Such was my stupor.
But in my mind, the frying
Pan was cast iron,

And wouldn’t have mattered,
Anyway; and such were my
Efforts on the telephone
That I didn’t hear the rest
Of what you said you would
Do to me…and in between,
Me:  “Don’t you dare.”

Because you weren’t there
When I awakened,
My door firmly locked
Behind you.
Tell me, did you
Abscond with my key?
