half-remembered dream -
streets lined with lazy trees
impossibly verdant lawns.
huddled around a fuzzy screen
glassy-eyed and silent.
window glimpse:
rooms filled
desperate attempts
towards cheerful anxiety.
can't help looking sullen.
"someone completely
out of touch with reality,"
idealized world off-kilter;
how they lived,
how they thirsted to live.
virgin mary on the door,
a dullish cast strewn
across the bedroom floor.
last moments spent
lusting to be understood,
yet instead
simply loved.
