firetrap dreams

volcano cuisine (firetrap dream #1)

there are four volcanoes nearby
in various stages of eruption and
pre-eruption.

one of them has a restaurant atop the crater
people are still there eating.

I can’t believe they haven’t left yet.

temptation + obligation (firetrap dream #2)

I’m sitting between two women
the woman on my right is my girlfriend
the woman on my left is a friend of hers
her friend is incredibly warm + sexy.

we’re sitting on top of a bus
the bus is parked on the side of the street
we’re watching people come back from fighting the fire
it’s like a parade.

her friend starts
coming on to me
flirting with me
she asks me what my birthstone is
she tells me
how attractive I am
how much sexual power she feels around me
she begins to kiss the side of my face
her lips are warm full + soft
I like it.

my girlfriend starts to get upset
in her usual restrained way
I’m really leaning on her + now
her friend’s really leaning on me + I feel like
this isn’t fair to my girlfriend at all.
