.
Imaginary
friends, discarded 
once
outgrown, upended 
and forgotten
by their blood-
and-flesh
companions whom
.
they’d
shown and who they 
thought
had also shown 
a love
which offered them so 
unconditional
a fit that it was
.
unimaginable
they would ever
need
a love additional to it.
But now
these randomly
abandoned
beings have begun
.
to
find equivalently yearning 
others
of their kind. New 
intimacies
salve their burning 
losses.
Imagination glosses
.
its
effects and predilections, 
finds
new ways to ride the bends 
of its
fluidities, affections
and desires.
Floating past each
.
other
on their river, they begin 
to
feel the quiver of a possibility 
of love
they’d thought was gone. 
Might
dreams love dreams?
.
Now
they do. Which means 
there
may be hope for 
what
you’ve thrown away, 
and therefore
hope for you.
