Daydream
by Valentina Cano
A husband made of air.
That’s what she wants.
As careless as the wind
that ruffles the toothy orchid
in the backyard.
She wants a husband who
will not rattle panes
at words or thoughts
that carry chains around their feet.
She wants one who will
spin sighs into a tablecloth
just wide enough for their
war-scarred table.
She wants a puff of nothing.
A man of clouds.
