Title: Poised on the Cusp of a Dream

They tell me she is sleeping, but they lie.

Alas, it is sad euphemism fitting the moment.

So lovely is my Hermione in eternal slumber, surrounded by white satin.

I wonder is she waiting en pointe, poised on the cusp of a dream.

I cannot accept, or fathom her existence now.

Her reaper-bridegroom has jealously stolen her away to join with the energy of the universe.

She beckons me from across the veil, in my quiet existence.

Yet I cannot go, for I am bound here. Perhaps, when I sleep, I will be poised on the cusp of her dream.
