imagine if we had a small flat
buried in the middle of the city
like i know you want
away from the sky.
living together and dancing
drinking mocktails and laughing
i want to see you happy
just once. just once.
we could have a dog or a cat, because
we'd be in a penthouse suite looking
over the rainy cityscape
up high in the thin air.
there would be dreams experienced
side by side in the night
and when you say my name
i won't miss a beat.
it's just a fantasy, a novelty
afforded by imagination
so that when i hear your voice
i see our flat in the city
and not what you wish
you
had said
to me.
