Shoes on a beach

Anticipating a loss
I dreamed it last night

One moment he was there with us
At the table
Quieter
Like he is these days

And I told my cousin
To hold on a second
So he could speak
Or was it so he could hear me
Or was it so I could feel him
For certain
In peace

And then he was walking
And he was gone
But we knew he had walked
Straight into the water

Because we were on a beach now
And we found his shoes

I wept
And then I woke
