last night i dreamt that killy was the son of rich people
never saw them in my dream
but killy and i had to move into their attic because of untoward circumstances
he had three sisters
one was away in europe
the other was studying to be a doctor
the third was also in school but was glamorous and showey
all of them were beautiful

killy confided in the doctor sister
the doctor sister confided in the glamorous sister
killy and i snuck in on the weekend when the parents were away

we went straigh upstairs into the attic, he sent me first
he would follow
i went upstairs to a fully cluttered attic
it was spotless
the cleaning crew had orders to keep the place orderly and neat
it was as orderly and neat as the space would allow
there were bookshelves everywhere
chairs set up near mismatched coffee tables
working elegant torchieres plugged into wall switches
casting a warm golden glow upon the sitting areas

it looked like a comfortable but cluttered home
there was even a big beautiful bed all done up
i could only imagine what the house below was furnished with
compared to what they considered storage
the furniture and miscellaneous things were obviously expensive antiques
they were taken care of meticulously

so i made myself comfortable
the temperature was nice so i took off my clothes
i browsed the bookshelves and found a book
i lay down on the spacious luxurious bed and started to read
then killy came up

as he came into the room, he shed his belongings one by one
dropping them on the floor carelessly
the sound was loud and i was worried that his family downstairs would hear
baby don't walk so hard, take your shoes off
they'll hear you downstairs

his parents never met me
his sisters only heard of me
i was worried we would be discovered because i knew we weren't supposed to be there

killy looked worried

and then his sister came up
first i smelled her arrival
she smelled clean and sweet, like springtime daisies
her head slowly emerged from the stairwell
short fashionably arranged hair, trimmed close to her head
she glittered and shimmered like a diamond
she was wearing a bright ostrich feather boa and lots of jewelry

she said
look what i brought
some shimmering bubbly

i smiled and said, well look at me, au naturale!

she opened the champagne
