 i dreamt of my father's near twin last night. he didn't exist in waking life. maybe he was a ghost twin who didn't survive to birth. my sister in law was adoring him when i opened the door, asking if i knew dad had a brother looking so alike, i knew, i'd met him earlier in the dream. but his real brother didn't look alike. the dream brother was cool and cagey, like an actor who was barely phoning it in, like a puppet politician. i didn't want to look in his eyes, the same as dad's. he felt like a blank replacement. my sister in law was bald and glowing, she was radiant but deathly ill in the dream.
