sunspots on her ear

I had a dream that I was on the tip of that dandelion you blew, making a wish that made me smile. the feathered tidbits flew into the sky and danced and tickled your face, and I landed on your ear. I went down as if on a slide, playing connect-the-dots with your three cute sunspots. as your hand gravitated towards your itch, I threw my body on your dimple and felt like I was in a garden because your cheeks were rosy. my mouth curled into a side smile -- hidden -- and I looked up in awe at your two pools of aqua-colored eyes. I saw dolphins leaping, and my mind was overtaken by nostalgic memories. I shielded my own eyes as copper streaks in your hair glimmered up above, masked in golds as well as bronze. for one reason or another your smile recedes and I find refuge by lounging on your nose, causing your eyes to cross. I laugh silently and find myself placed on your palm, leaning in sheepishly to kiss you. I know you are bigger, but I close my eyes anyway.


then they opened, the dream was over but there you were
hovering above me with a smile."aw, you fell asleep?"


I love upside down kisses.
