I hate when people tell me their dreams.

I hate when someone’s like,

It was me and my fourth-grade teacher and Dr. Evil and we were stuck on a

broken escalator at

my old ballet school and it was really scary.

I am uncharitable to this person,

resentful of the performance they ask for because

their story has all the trappings of mattering (they were scared)

but in reality does not matter (didn’t happen)

and frankly undercuts itself (Dr. Evil cameo).

Describing one’s dream is an unforgivable waste of everyone’s time,

I said once and you laughed,

which reminds me,

I had a dream about you.

For years I was certain I’d run into you

Ideally at the farmers market

My tote a performative burst of swiss chard

You’d ask all the questions but I’d just want the one

“Oh, nobody serious,” I’d say

With enough of a pause to make you wonder

(I rehearsed for hours in the mirror My star turn that never was)

But I couldn’t picture your expression

I’m leaving for a while

This thing I applied to in Portland

I’m excited I think thank you

ex-lovers ugh

but what’s a better word for

don’t answer that

you were always too honest

do you want to hear the dream?

I’m walking up to your place, late

trying to sneak up on you like you like

like you used to like

not a creak from the wood steps beneath me

(that’s how i know it’s a dream—

your real stairs always groaned under what my mother calls my “heavy tread”)

but I’m airy as tissue paper

draped in a moon-blanket of absolute silence

not even the gods can hear me

I slither open the screen

turn the knob tick by tick

and float like a petal onto your living room rug

lights off it’s inky dark

my hands are gauzy shadows

you’re in here somewhere

a magnet

I step cautiously

edging into the black

every follicle an antenna

probing

seeking

and then

just beyond my breath-baited fingertips

I feel you smoldering

my kindling skin prickles

I’m utterly combustible

ready to be consumed

destroyed

reborn

any moment you’ll appear

easy as a sigh

now

NO—

Mrs. Wheeler’s 7am leaf blower robbed me of your face

I laid there for a moment

settling

stiff-necked in the vulgar morning light

wondering if you ever ended up cutting your hair

you did
