From the Depths of My Dreams
open close break open close

falling
motionless
beneath the surface
the waters of my dreams
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
a breathing still life
eyes blinking
my confession
from the depths
open close open close
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
murmuring undertow
cutting clean
the earth ribbons
tethering me to the pillow
purple, green, blue, orange
shushing me
tempting me, coaxing me
surrender
pulling me under
a benign blanket
woven of lies
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
open close open close
darts of light
a fleet of fish
taillights in the blackness
tracing neon loops
into words that
tangle my arms my legs
a celestial net
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
captured
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
moonbeams bobbing
surface tension stretching
a silken gossamer
of lies and truths
molecules
shrouding my dreams
a cloak of hush
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
a siren
an alarm
a startle
I break
I break water
I break bread
I break hearts
I break promises
I break bad news
I break the speed limit
I break it
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
and I replace it
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
I break his grip
I break my silence
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
I break through
sucking for oxygen
fanning the flames
alive
my head on my pillow
welcoming me back
from the depths of my dreams
