I met her
in a dream
of her own
making.
She would
she said
when she felt
herself entering
a time of drifting
untied
from everything
get on one plane
after another
flying great distances
first class
leaving
all she thought
she knew
about herself
others
and the world
we inhabit
until
the dream ended
and
she awakened
to wherever she was
which seemed to explain
how
I had gotten
to where
I was sitting
with no recollection
of exactly what
I had done
to reach a destination
to nowhere
in particular
able now
at last
to relax
among flora
and fauna
with lives
of their own
on my way
to a place
unknown
until my arrival.
