you + kittens

a poem

you + kittens

---

i had a dream about you—

and kittens.

and sunlight.

not romantic,

simple.

you drank your coffee

and i chewed ice.

you told me a joke

and you smiled—and i

damned my train of thought to hell;

determined only

to make your smile

last as long as possible.

someone once called it a reverse nightmare:

to live the life you wish you had

in a dream—

and then wake up.

thank you for reading 🖤
