Landscape dreams

We dream of the places we’ve never visited

Before

We picture vast open prairies

And lush vibrant landscapes

And places we’re not sure even exist

Because we’ve only seen photographs

Depicting such a paradise

A sanctuary

Where are thoughts are calm for at least

Because we’re crossing our fingers

Behind our backs

Performing so many silly rituals

Hoping it will be enough

To find happiness

In the places we are confined

To
