In my dreams
a frostbitten moon feels warm
and lemon blossoms
scent the air
People ride
on origami paper cranes
and the roads are paved with sandstone
implanted with seaglass
In my dreams
everyone lives
in brightly colored birdhouses
up in trees with
strands of marbles glittering
in their branches
Vendors sell fresh orange slices
dipped in honey
and tissue paper flowers
bloom at night while
people dance with their soulmates
In my dreams
there are long sandy beaches
lined with turquoise water
and coated with honeysuckle blooms
There is no sky
the sun and stars hang
suspended
and the snow that falls
is any color you want it to be
There is no climate change
no racism
no fossil fuels
no hunger
In my dreams
there is only a moon
a frostbitten moon that
feels warm
there is only this moon
and everything else
I can imagine
a frostbitten moon feels warm
and lemon blossoms
scent the air
People ride
on origami paper cranes
and the roads are paved with sandstone
implanted with seaglass
In my dreams
everyone lives
in brightly colored birdhouses
up in trees with
strands of marbles glittering
in their branches
Vendors sell fresh orange slices
dipped in honey
and tissue paper flowers
bloom at night while
people dance with their soulmates
In my dreams
there are long sandy beaches
lined with turquoise water
and coated with honeysuckle blooms
There is no sky
the sun and stars hang
suspended
and the snow that falls
is any color you want it to be
There is no climate change
no racism
no fossil fuels
no hunger
In my dreams
there is only a moon
a frostbitten moon that
feels warm
there is only this moon
and everything else
I can imagine

Wow. What a gorgeous cacophony of imagery. I am utterly stunned.
