i dreamt

of having viscious sex with you

you were eight months pregnant

and i don't know why

i dreamt

of creating a landscape painting

with a deep purple sun set

and blurry black animals in the foreground

with white stitching eyes

i dreamt

of drawing a self portrait

with an erratic and vague outline

of my soft body

but an intricately shaded image of my nose

it was meant to represent smell

and the clarity it brings

to memory
