last night i dreamed
of a basement room
a cave of sorts
with a center abyss
and rows of chairs
surrounding it
hundreds of chairs
like movie theater seating
and the people come in
and they walk in thin lines
on thin ledges
to reach their seats
so they can sit for a spell
and sleep
i held a kitten to my chest
and watched it
grow in my arms
dreading the day
when we would lose
our strength
and balance
and fall
