to marry








last night i dreamed i married chaos
in a short sacred ceremony
i was breathless exhilarated
i wore a flowery flowing white dress
there was an invisible ring around my finger
 i adored it

my known serenity ended quickly

each morning our ceiling caved in
crashing down on our breakfast

in the afternoon our sons built
log fortresses on the beach
laughing as the sky cracked open
waves crashed over us all

every evening i walked against
traffic of humans headed home
he never recognized me
until i hugged him

i think it was because
his mask was too big

he massaged my back
every night
until we both fell asleep
