.
for me.
i dreamed she was the amber light of the sunset
dripping down the streets like golden honey singeing
my eyelashes to dazzle me blind
i dreamed her as a house on fire
one hundred and twelve years of screaming laughing
love tears
twisting to the sky in ash + smoke
free at last and
tumbling to the moon
i dreamed her kisses tasted like twenty one tomorrows
and a lightning bolt moment in time
i dreamed she spun sugar on a trapeze + her toes
curled around the the stars as she pulled herself
heavenward to the
stares STARS stars star
i dreamed she was the raw skin on the roof of my burnt
mouth
+ i poked with my tongue to see if the tingling pain
still shot through
i dreamed she was a broken shoelace taut pulled and
snapped as i was running out the door, hastily knotted
back together to make her last the day
we were dreaming entwined limbs together, all around,
all softly warm and lips parted ever so slightly as we
smiled inside and out endlessly
i dreamed her.
and then i woke up.
