lillith
sabbie
she comes to kneel by my bed at night
she comes to kneel by my head while i sleep
and whisper to me of her dreams,
softly telling me her stories
quietly imparting her ideas
and speaking of her favorite bands

in the morning, when i wake, she is gone.
nothing of her remains but a whirl in my head
of words i cannot quite catch,
and little dints in the carpet next to my bed
where she rested on her heals
while she whispered her words.

if only i knew
what she is trying to tell me
if only i could remember
what it is she speaks of
when she lingers by my bed
night after night.

lilith?
lillith?

please try once more.
i could not recall any of it again today
