Let's pretend we had a magic carpet
only for a night
we could fly across the oceans
inhale sea salt; wave at
the dolphins
Let's pretend we had a magic carpet
only for a single dream
we would ascend mountains
then zoom down to touch the North Pole
Let's pretend we didn't come home
Find a quiet spot in Egypt
Create a private oasis
make a tree house in palm trees
A house filled with wild birds and a thousand windchimes
