It was some combination of her voice, her face, her thin gray cotton leggings, a glance across the greenish haze, that kiss of every breath at once. A dream within a dream so strange but carefully precise, so perfect. So lost within myself but lucid with the suspense of her lips and the soft electric glow of her small hands. She touches me and I remind myself that the dream is real because it is persistent. It becomes clear to me that compassion is the only rational direction in this noetic loop, where life becomes an image of itself an infinitude of times over.
