the_cabin
bijou white light, white windows, white walls.
a wooden table, and dark blue cups, a clear pitcher with orange flowers.
i had this dream that you were fixed
and we were in a bright cabin
and you could hear the waves on the pebbles just like when i was a little girl
and i would fall asleep on the porch to the sound of the giant metal fan
and the water crunching at the shore
the dock straining against its metal tethers
the screen door swinging wide on its spring then smacking shut
and the light on above the kitchen sink, courted by moths.
i had a dream that you were mine and you were relieved.
and you buried your face in my chest and wept
and fell asleep to the sound of the fan and the shore and the dock
and when you woke up the room was bright white
and your eyes were so green they were so gray
and your eyebrows were blonde from the summer
and it was finally okay. you were finally okay.
and we were safe tucked away in my childhood.
