Legend by Courtney LeBlanc You lie sleeping beside me, arm heavy across my body, breathing steady. A Japanese legend says if you can’t sleep it’s because you’re awake in someone else’s dream. I wonder if it’s your dream that holds me captive, if we’re together, free and happy in a way we don’t exist in the waking world.
