AEH

she haunted my dreams...

every day, i'd go to the same lunch spot... i spied her there and saw her get the same sandwich in the same bag and then leave each day

the next week, i followed her ... she went home

on tuesday, i followed her again... home

on wednesday, i watched the window and saw that she was upstairs

i got out of my car and followed the trail of white cherry blossom body spray to the back door of her house

just inside, she had taken off her strappy summer sandals

i opened the door, picked them up... 5.5

put them down, closed the door, and back through a haze of hot summer and nervous energy

it was all a dream

but when i awoke, i felt i had learned a secret

her shoe size...

i awoke from this dream about a very real person and felt as if i had really been there, in her house, picking up her shoes, captivated by her scent and her routines...
