dear dream

 dear dream,

 

where are you? brushing past my fingertips, come closer, closer. please. i want to float to your world, gold threads, blue bubbles, sunny, lovely. i want to see my future in a crystal ball, i want to see my past in black and white. i want to feel like i’m levitating, in a magic realm, neither here nor there. where are you? why hasn’t your deep dark depth swallowed me whole, taken me away? i am lying here, seeing a zoo in the ceiling, ghosts in the shadows, when i could be sitting in a lonely field, watching a parade of elegant clouds dance through the sky. please come soon.

 

yours,

me

 

 

 

 

dear nightmare,

 

please do not come tonight.

 

sincerely,

me
