    The radiator whistles like it’s being attacked by a bear. I had dreams I was rebuilding something, a hammock even though a perfectly good hammock already existed, I was rebuilding the frame, connecting all the pieces, taking them out of the box, laying them on the wet grass and putting them back together again.

    I slept in my contact last night so it feels like I didn’t sleep at all. It took me a moment to realize that I could see in places I normally couldn’t – the curtain soft in blue light, the books on the nightstand, cellphone and the woken reminder that one of my dearest friends…

    I was saving a woman from drowning. The water was bath-water clear and I dove under, her foot caught under a rock. She had the same river shoes as me. It took two tries, but I got her loose and held her body above the water. In water things are so light, people are so…

    You cannot find me unless I let you. a secret fox. I’ll hide until I tell the truth. until I run red across a field. naked and unshaved furry. to say I’m coming home. the dream of the fox so long ago defines me. embrace her and embrace you. watch the den gulp her clean.…

    I had dreams of a snow-white wolf stalking me. He was curious and so was I. He had electric blue eyes. I was afraid of him and I wasn’t. It was a she or a he, I wasn’t sure. But it followed me as I moved throughout the tasks of my dream, of my life…
