Dreaming

We were in Montreal

But this time you were there

And my friends

You said you liked my skirt

We got up from dinner

Everyone walked around

I walked close to you

You were taller than me, like in real life, too

You rubbed my back and my waist

Kept me close to you

It wasn’t weird

I liked it

A lot

More than anyone should

Looking up at you

Having you there

Like that

Intimately

Not awkwardly

Not weirdly

Like perfect

Forever

And when I woke up

I thought maybe

This could be

Something

  • Story Mountain

    I guess I've been thinking

    The story mountain we made

    And the characters didn't even get their lives told

    Because ours crashed and burned before we could handle it

  • I Won't

    Nope

    I'm not going back to school.

    I'm going to ignore the back-to-school ads

    And shopping trips

    The packing

    The new outfits

    The brand-new pencils

    I won't do it

  • Glimpses

    Noise

    Warming up

    Keys

    Fingerings

    Chatter

    Laughter

    The chorale

    Stopping

    Starting

    "Again"

    "I know you can do better than that"

    Serious but

    You also love it
