i dreamed

my official

first ever dream

of you



lying next to my bed

on the floor on your right

side     hands

together under your

right cheek     (like a girl i thought     like my mother)

relaxed

sleeping



every time i looked

you were lying

deeper

under my bed

in the lots of space there     i put

a snow white pillow down

that you

took

in your arms -

i knew it was

me -

i kept watch over your

peace-loving

slumber

deep underneath my bed



if not for seeing you sleep

like that

i would only guess

about delight and love     but now

i know

they have

your shape

if not for dreams, i would sometimes have writer's block (which i think is actually non-existent, to be honest)
