dream behavior
Tanya Castro
i walk out of my dream
my body lays there
the body doesn’t react
body does nothing
not even believe it is dead
i approach the front door
leaving my body behind
outside the body there is fear
what was the dream i can’t remember
there is reality in the ghost of me
i start to confess
ghost looking at the sun
staring at the man
ghost thinks it feels salvation
notices the sky is left open
i am not sure i am being saved
the rain doesn’t come
there is no dream
the flood never happens
body lays, left for dead
