You And I: The Slumber Poem by Liesel Eva Schmidt

You And I: The Slumber



Eleven years of history slumbers between us.
Under the surface, it breathes.
It wonders if it has been forgotten,
Abandoned, lost.

I wondered if he could see the breaths,
The thoughts rising like colorless,
Medicated balloons.
I could.

The rearrangement of life, the history,
You and I.

And the madness, O how it burrows.
