Vladimir Levchev Featured on ArLiJo. A ROOM IN THE DREAM There is a room in my dream where the girl with the blue dress is laughing. That room is lit by buzzing orange burners. Snow has blocked two-thirds of the window: it is still falling in the warm street lights. But I am unable to enter that room in my dream, to sit on the bed by the girl that went away.
