a peach
the sun warmed my bones but the dry wind cut my flesh and i kept walking. i could see sand for miles and miles and not a drop of water to cooly feel in my lips. i just crashed. "this is my life". i laid naked buried underneath files and cubicles and screens that robbed everything of color. the sun suddenly became hot and unbearable. it came closer. i could barely keep my eyes open but i could still see you brighter than any sun and more beautiful than any flower. your hips danced and entranced me and i fought the universe for you. you laughed and said you loved me back and that you'd be a doctor. then we held hands and the world had never been a desert but a beach and the wind caressed our lips as we kissed. a cosmic princess i had found and in dreams nor delusions nor reality you ceased to exist. Like a peach ripe and juicy in a hot summer, your love overflowed and i felt bound to this infinite love and a grayed out life was full of color.
