last night
i dreamt i was in an anony-country somewhere in the projects.. i was living in a rented out room in a cement complex. i picked up my ex up from the airport. i brought them back to our room, (we were both unfamiliar with where we had been) had to walk passed people shooting each other in a window above.. everyone was watching. it happened again, a few blocks over. the neighborhood was terrible, but the landlord was pleasant. made friends with him on the stairwell up. i put my ex’s bags down on the side of the bed and he left with another person he was traveling with that was already at the apt. when they left to look at more of the city, i snooped through his bags to reclaim a few shirts that he had brought with him overseas.. i took the shirt off my back (which he had left here) and put it in his back. i put on a coat, with no shirt underneath, just has they both entered. the friend went on his laptop, and he sat on the bed, talking of what they had just seen. i asked the friend a bit envious, “how long have you two known each other?” he said they have been talking for a year. after short conversation, i said goodbyes and i left, knowing that i was shirtless under my coat. cried the whole way down the stairs.
