Sweet Dreams, Darling (Double Tanka)

Sweet Dreams, Darling {Double Tanka}

Upon her roof top;
Searching the forbidden stars
She cries out his name.
As his soul reaches the sky,
With out telling her good bye.

She wallows in grief;
Hearing a voice off inside,
Saying "it's all right."
And wiping her blackened cheeks
She whispers "sweet dreams darling."
