orange

I was telling her that it was
my Grandparents house
only different
there were two doors on either end
one to exit
one to enter

and we watched as my words came to life
and the story of my dream
unfolded within the dream

then the line of people came through
with the pronouncement that
David is here

and how long ago was it that
I was told
David is coming?

I saw him
this boy
followed by men
women
giants

and then
a man
standing by the round table covered in white
and a reminder that
I forgot to drink the water

after it is gone
their faces
change

like star bursts
of orange
I see them
in a new
light

cold hot cold hot cold hot cold

let's get better at this life thing
and
conquer all the things
that have conquered us
