In my dreams, I lasso Saturn and pull him close, 
his rings really just part of my weapon, invisible rope
tugging him in for a hug, as though solid enough
for my arms to squeeze, like those memories
I know I could reach out and touch, if only
a light projected from my eye onto the screen
of blue sky I see at noon — sunless in my dreams.
