i had the most vivid dream this morning.
I was time traveling back to germany 1933. my boyfriend
was a nazi lieutenant and we were going to travel by train.
he showed me the route by tracing his finger across Germany.
i kept thinking that i should keep the map because it
is going to change very soon.
The house we were in was old, and even then i knew
it was going to be blown apart by the allies in a few years.
he told me to stand by the gate because he wanted a photo
of me, he directed my pose and even then it was one of
those 1930’s poses with one leg in front of the other.
I stood there playing with the bangles he had given me,
cream and gem colored rings of plastic.
The next morning, i walked into the bathroom and it
was painted blood red, as i walked in i stepped onto
little bright green lizards which left green marks all over my feet.
As i was bathing, i knew that the world was about to change.
I woke up the soldier, he was naked and asleep with a book
over his face, and told him it was time to go. I looked at the
bedspread and it was the one i have on my bed now,
i knew then that “my home will be gone soon”
and that i needed to pack my jewelery.
When i woke up i knew that my World was about to change.
