Last night I had a dream that I wasn’t dreaming. I was floating from an invisible string and hiding in a business dome until the group that I tried to connect with came back for me. We walked and floated to the theater and back. Then I “woke up” at home in bed and was dreaming that I wouldn’t cuddle with you so I heard you talking to the neighbor who was flirting with you.
Jay’s curled up on his left side, snoring on the couch
Lil Bit is laying in a section of sunlight
and I have my back to the fireplace.
We woke up in between early and late morning,
Jay read the news
Lil Bit went outside to patrol the area for mice
I gathered my work schedule and set some intentions
It’s nearly noon and we’ve had our healthy snack for breakfast
Lil Bit had a snack of squeezable tuna
and we just need to shower and run a few errands.
The clock is strumming,
plucking random notes and chords
in unison for seven a.m.
Jay is still asleep,
The cat slipped out hunting shadows and sparrows,
and I sit with my back to the heater,
coffee cup warming both hands.
The house feels suspended
between dreaming and waking-
the kind of quiet
where every sound becomes its own small instrument:
the ticking clock,
the breath of the heater
the soft settling of morning around me.
