I slept
and as I ebbed and flowed
in and out
in and out
of my day’s remains
I dreamt
Invincible
sleeping stillness
a smile
seeping through the fissures
of my soul
tugging for air
I awoke
the gravitational weight
of Jupiter
heavy dark pure
tugging at my soul
holding me
captive
warping my smile
into its orbital pull
I am a captive
weightless floating
awaiting redemption
I am conscious
I pick up my dream shears
from the bedside table
snick and snip
a pause
freedom
the fraying ends
of what holds me back
snapping and slapping
dancing
in my wake
I am awake
