Tell me about the dream where we ⟶
pull the bodies out of the lake and dress them in warm clothes again.
How it was late, and no one could sleep, the horses running until they forget they are horses.
It’s not like a tree where the roots have to end somewhere, it’s more like a song on a policeman’s radio, how we rolled up the carpet so we could dance, and the days were bright red, and every time we kissed there was another apple to slice into pieces.
Look at the light through the windowpane. That means it’s noon, that means we’re inconsolable.
