Moonpie Dreams

Kate Campbell


Once every May Day
We stayed at her house
With doilies on tables 
And cats on the couch
She played me records
The ones he adored
The music 
They danced to
Before the war
And now 
Sometimes I see her
And she seems 
So lonely
Standing there 
In my moonpie dreams

He wagged his tail
When Jim let him in
He came 
From the next block
And they were 
Best friends
He'd bring the paper
Without a tear
He knew his friend Jim
Would always be there
Now he waits 
At the back door
But it's just him only
Sitting there
In my moonpie dreams

Now I look 
Out my window
And wish you 
Could hold me
You're always there
In my moonpie dreams
