Most of the time...I can keep both feet on the ground
My subconscious has an awful sense of humour. The irony is always lost on me until the next morning, when I open my eyes and wish I hadn't. Because I want to stay in the room. In the dream. and I don't even notice that she's gone...

But, I always resurface. Breaking the calm with my awareness. Like a toothache.
I still haven't forgotten your face.

I want you to be reliable, like a Volvo, or a red apple in the Fall.
It's chilly, and I want to curl up and read Kafka under a warm blanket. A fire crackling, or maybe the absent ticking of the baseboard heater, my eyes following vowels. But maybe I'll sleep better tonight, in my own bed. Red, red sheets.

There's no way to get it across that I have a hard time letting things go, especially the ones that touch me. The things that reach me. It's hard to forget. Lines in the water ripple away, the sun goes down, the moon comes up. Sky turns dark. And I can't forget. I blame my subconcious. It does have that nasty sense of humour, and it likes to kick me when I'm down.

ok, ok. I give.
