weave dreams
like tapestries
hang them up
just long enough
to forget them
never walk
down that hallway
again
find a room
with big windows
undo the latches
you never needed
in the first place
pull hard
let in fresh air
and breathe
you wake up in a house that you don't recognize
touch the wall you remember painting
but not when
walk through hallways without memories
doorways without echoes
living rooms never lived in
step on to the overgrown yard
you remember choosing this place
but not moving in
wave to neighbors you don't recognize
walk back inside and
weave dreams
like tapestries
hang them up
just long enough
to forget them
maybe
one day
you'll remember
