On July Nine in twenty-nineteen
Michael is mine
as defined
in my dreams.
As I tell our parents
we’re finally engaged
Michael is mine
but I find
he’s enraged.
Michael confused.
Michael is broken.
Michael in truth
does not lie when unspoken.
Michael in dreams
still loves me I’m sure.
But Jason wakes up
with Michael unsure.

For Michael C.
who keeps popping up in my hot July dreams.
