Hot
I had a dream it was hot
and that’s only significant
because it’s winter – my
thoughts were of a summer
to come, one that came early,
I could feel the bright sun on
my face as the city streets
bustled brightly and even
the hidden people came out
to see what the day was like –
dark skinned people wearing
bright colored clothes, bright
blue sky behind weathered
sandstone facades, a generalized
peace blowing in the air.
