If you were saturn
I would be honored
To be in your orbit
And perhaps,
In a millennium or two
Or ten
For some kind of miracle
Gravity would notice me
And help me become
One of your rings
So forever and beyond, it’d be you and I
Together in such a lonely universe
And that would be such a gift
An amazing
And wonderful
Gift
To make me forget how dark and cold
Life can be
And oh my,
Why are we so far from the sun?
You told me you'd be good to me
Now I am trapped
Doomed to revolve forever around you
Oh my
Why am I so far from the sun?

Welcome to my new series, a weekly blog on what’s inspiring me. I spent much of last week in bed with a stomach bug. I’ll spare you the details of that—but in addition to the grotesque physical symptoms, I had some fever dreams I won’t soon forget. Imagine my surprise to see Vocal’s newest challenge: Write a fiction story about a recurring dream or nightmare.
