Dream of le petite Dame Julian

I could have sworn I shut the bedroom door.
Yet, I hear her mew near the bed.
I see her shadow on the wall,
near my head.
I'm half awake.
It's like, two o'clock in the morning.
I rise slightly from the pillow
and reach for her shadow.
I keep missing her.
Come morning, the bedroom door
is still closed.
