I hugged my dad for 5 minutes in a dream

I hugged him so tight          I loved my dad 

in a dream           & I hugged him

& I hugged a man with a juddery eye 

we kissed on a peninsula         & later

hugged in my kitchen 

we were generous with our hugging

we recognised it was a dream I think 

& were generous
