i just woke up from a dream
about our warehouse
on terpsichore street
parker's and mine
it was just the same
as all my terpsichore dreams
except this time
parker was there
i woke up panting
exhausted
like i just had a baby
my body loose
i told parker
it's how i remember it
he said no, it's not. look outside.
i saw trees, a swamp encroaching
i started crying
he put his arms around me
i put my arms up and around
his wide, long back
he pulled them down
did you ever love me?
lydia says you never loved me
he didn't answer
i woke up panting, exhausted
as though i'd delivered a baby
as though my labor was over
like i'd been swept away by a hurricane
what's happening to me?
am i dying?
