Early this morning I took Juliet to work
It was 5:15am today as she had a very early case
Typically it is difficult to sleep once she leaves
I don't know, it is always challenging to be completely at ease when she is gone
Today I managed almost 2 hours of strange dreams and some panic
When I write, read, photograph and open myself to what the universe shows me
Sometimes the images are painful even more often than they are sublime
Today the dreams shook me and I lay there dry-mouthed and gulping at my water
I managed to pull up enough to see my phone only to feel a sting in my neck
I knew something was new and old
Me
I made it out of bed and into the closet
Where I was met with the warm scent of Juliet
Her hair, her neck, the pristine sense of clean and enveloping love
The dreams; I forgot and it felt like the very first time I saw her place
5 years ago
That mid-rise place so neat and so Juliet
Sense of smell
Powerful
