it started with me alone in a field
it was somewhere in long island, I think
yeah, I know they don’t have fields
I was spinning real slow
well, more like normal speed but in slow motion
and my hands were ****** to the sky all dramatically
and I was wearing that white sun dress
and then there was thunder that was really quiet and lightning that was blue
and then I fell down to the ground
and the tall prickly grass felt soft and warm and I was going to stay there forever
I remember that part because I screamed it real loud
but then you come out of nowhere and just picked me up
and I was real mad cause I screamed I want to stay here forever and
don’t you know what forever means?
but apparently you didn’t cause you picked me up and carried me like Superman—
actually no, you dragged me by my left arm,
I don’t think it hurt that much;
at some point I looked up at you expecting caring & sympathetic eyes
but was startled by your ugly indifference—
yes, indifference can be ugly, you know that—
you dragged me for about an hour,
until finally we reached a lake and you let me look:
it was a ***** lake,
matching perfectly to the dark sky and unimpressive trees,
and it went on for infinity which I thought was weird for a lake;
you helped me stand up,
your touch delicate but so firm,
and as we held hands and looked together at this majestic lake,
the reflection of the cloud filled sky disappears,
and I bend to get a closer look and I see that this isn’t a lake at all—
it’s a cliff.
a cliff that stretches down for miles, no, light years,
and I look at you in astonishment,
and instead of seeing your non-caring & sympathetic eyes,
you have no face
and your expressionless faceless head ***** to the side a bit,
kind of pensive-looking,
and at the same time I feel your delicate but firm hand in the middle of my back,
and I feel myself falling forward in slow motion,
my feet slowly tearing away from ground,
and I take one last look back at you
and your face is back and looks caring & sympathetic at my body lifelessly freefalling
so I blow it a kiss and say I’ll see you soon
because I know when this is over you’ll be waiting at the other end
and I know it’ll be worth it to see your face one more time.
it was a pathetic dream.
