Eyebrows on Fire

Nobody dreams about eyebrows on fire –
Well, not until tonight, at ten past two,
When someone special will remember you
And that convicted arsonist for hire,
With the resulting flare-up rather dire.
I see you're thinking No, it isn't true!
But it's not your dream. If you think it through,
You'll come to understand what you require.

This dreamer is a notable new breed,
Whose frank nocturnal focus on your face
Has occupied the not-quite-empty space
Between your grace, your unbecoming greed,
And grief, grown grim. Here's what you seem to need:
Attention, harmony, and pride of place.
