this was an actual dream I had after starting work designing a website for a singer/songwriter friend - there is no “banksy festival,” though, in my dream, it was a prestige alternative music festival in london - there is a print by the artist banksy called “festival” that depicts folks at a music festival waiting in line to buy expensive shirts - i had heard of banksy, but was not familiar with this print -

i met you in my dream last night
it was sunny
you were beautiful
we hugged
i touched your face
“i’m playing the banksy festival,
i got you tickets.
you will come?”
my heart was full for you
knowing the world
was embracing you
knowing that i would go
to see you one last time
before your real life began

I would love to meet friends at a festival sometime soon. This is a very vivid portrait.

You have a deft way with setting up a vivid, poignant scenario. You build us up to that last line, which hits really hard. Banksy wasn't, perchance, a flying squirrel in your dream?
