Eggplants

I dreamt
that my hands
were eggplants large
and purple
shiny like
new shoes.

My task
was to build
a house for my
grand-daughter's
little dolls.

Oh God, why?

I fumbled with tools
and tried simply
to push pieces
together.

In the end
I wept
and awoke
without tears
heartbroken
but whole.
