When she dreams

I dreamt of you again, Donald.
I saw you floating in the room,
buoyed up like a balloon
at a parade.

Your face became
distorted and stretched,
as it filled with hot air.

You got bigger and bigger
and bigger and bigger,
flattening me into a corner,

until you popped
into an explosion of confetti
that tinkled
down,

and slowly disappeared
into nothing,
but a lingering
scent
of sulfur -

but when I woke up,
you were gone.
