A Dream of You
2023

A dream of you:
boater hat, beige suit.
Orange dappled sunset,
orange dappled through
Viking beard, through hazel
eyes and tuft of short-clipped
hair.

Blue fading sky, bright blue
dress.
Look up from my lap into my
bright blue eyes.
A wide, lush lawn,
a wedding.
You smile, toothy, crease-eyed
and kiss me.
And this time it’s sanctified.

I’ve been reading the Chronicles of Narnia (publication order) for the first time since I was a child. I’m currently on The Magician’s Nephew, the part where the talking animals plant Uncle Andrew because they think he’s a tree. Ends with “and now on to more important things”. Meanwhile I studiously kill each and every one of my darlings in drafts of fantasy novels hoping against hope one day they’ll be published. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😭 @bookstodon #books #fantasy #writing #reading
