These are the dreams I cherish Where I dressed in colors of a lost field of lavender my hair- longer than Lady Godiva’s, my horse with a mane like a floating morning mist, while from my mouth- mysterious words like the opposite of kiss, among clouds, above a ground of quiet apricity where lie leaves of long forgotten memories. What is the point, you say, of all of this, beyond these far off things? Well, that’s the thing about wifty dreams, isn’t it?
