	Last night his late wife 
		
		
		
		 
		
		
		
		came to him in a dream 
		
		
		
		then slid away, kept 
		
		
		
		slipping out of reach 
		
		
		
		down foreign streets 
		
		
		
		while I slept beside him 
		
		
		
		in our bed where my husband,  
		
		
		
		gone more than a decade now, 
		
		
		
		calls to me from time  
		
		
		
		to time, wants help  
		
		
		
		finding his cufflinks, keys.
