You were flying in my dream and your head was blue
by Jonathan K. Rice
I don’t know what this means
Perhaps it means nothing
It doesn’t say anything about my mother
or your mother
or sex
            I don’t think
            or is that flying thing a sex thing?
I wasn’t naked
            You weren’t naked or in your underwear
You were fully clothed
            and your head was blue
not like a painted blue
more like a not breathing kind of blue
            but you looked like you were breathing
kind of relaxed
floating around the lawn
calling my name like a mantra
but with a soft voice
            in a desirous sort of way
as you ascended higher and higher
until you were finally out of sight
Then I woke up in my bed alone
not that you were here to begin with
or ever have been
            and I forgot this dream for weeks
until I saw you and told you that
you were flying in my dream and your head was blue
