(I dream of fawns!) I am freshly 25 when my mother’s ashes are tossed in the bay( I dream of fawns ) a boy gives me a glass pumpkin after I asked for a sign from my mother (I dream of fawns) I dream of shattered glass pumpkins from my mother’s collection (I dream of fawns) and all I can think about is how I don’t dream anymore ( I dream of fawns)
