Sometimes the night wakes up in the
middle of me
and I can do nothing
but
become the moon.

SAD
Last night I dreamt I found a door
A door in my apartment I’d never encountered
Behind it:
Firstly a brand new large supply of toilet paper
Something I recognized I was out of
prior to going to sleep
Then the room got bigger
Suddenly a massive bathroom appeared
Hot tub
Jacuzzi
Old clothing that had been left my the previous tenant
They were an old couple,
Not too many gems were left.
She liked cheap sequinned shirts
I don’t remember what he liked come to think of it
The end of the room opened to a massive pool
Sunshine
A space unimaginable in my apartment
But it was there
And so was my cat mooch
I tanned topless for a while
While my current partner had an affair with the old woman who previously lived there
Dreams are fucking strange
And much needed
I needed the sun,
Perhaps I needed to leave my current partner?
Everything is easier in that world
I am more alive asleep
I’m more true to myself when I am asleep
I’m more asleep when I am conscious
