floating in a tin can
I would like to watch you sleeping, which may not happen. I would like to watch you, sleeping. I would like to sleep with you, to enter your sleep as its smooth dark wave slides over my head

and walk with you through that lucent wavering forest of bluegreen leaves with its watery sun & three moons towards the cave where you must descend, towards your worst fear

I would like to give you the silver branch, the small white flower, the one word that will protect you from the grief at the center of your dream, from the grief at the center I would like to follow you up the long stairway again & become the boat that would row you back carefully, a flame in two cupped hands to where your body lies beside me, and as you enter it as easily as breathing in

I would like to be the air that inhabits you for a moment only. I would like to be that unnoticed
& that necessary.

"Hi."

Ori Lighthoof's presence is preceded by the click-clack of their hooves on the concrete floor of the used vehicles shop. They're alone for once; their master stayed back at the junkyard, haggling with a new client over the price of junked droids. They've been sent alone to pick up some used vehicles, so trashed they're not worth reselling but which Boze Ampbe will take off the Ginzos' hands for a small fee, because Ori can make use of them. They're full of useful parts that don't work together anymore.

Being around predators always makes Ori a little nervous, but nearly every sentient being in the galaxy evolved from omnivorous predatory species like primates or reptiles; sentient prey species are a minority. So they're scared of everyone. But Ginzo is too jittery to be much of a threat in spite of the teeth, so they're only skittish when they duck their head under the doorway and stand there with their hands in the pockets of their sleeveless overcoat. "Have something for me today?"
