Close your eyes
Slide between the covers and crash into your pillow
close your eyes
breathe, and open
you are in the woods
you heard the birds before you opened your eyes
now you can smell the bark, damp from fresh rainfall
close, breathe, open
you’re in the rain somewhere else in the forest
your clothes are sodden, you know you have been here for a long time
hold out your palms and cup them
catch water
close your eyes
the rain has stopped
breathe in, deep
open
you are underwater
swim upwards
break the surface
breathe
taste spring water
float
close
breathe
sleep.
