I was ambulating arbitrarily
In a husseling marketplace
Busseling
And
...
Time stood still for once
In that misty moment.
We were everywhere
Yet nowhere.
...
What happens in rooms
When we're not there
And the lights
are off
...
Welcome to the night
Close your eyes
Tighter
I need you a little bit blinder.
...
Just outside
Of these walls
These God damn walls
The wind blows
...
Nothing
The same habitual motions.
The same vague approvals.
Nothing
...
In between what is and what might be
Dreams come to ruin me.
Saying
'Wake from this walking sleep!
...
I attended a funeral
Some weeks ago
The semi-familiar faces
Were all laden with the all too familiar grief
...
The question for science to ask is not how or even why but simply yes.)
A Dream
In softer sleep,
We were lovers once.
We entangled
In a bed that never was
Under the warm glow of
Subtle lights
That never were.
I had never loved you more.
I swear, I loved you
I loved you more than God could have ever intended
I loved you more than I intended
And for once,
I felt...
Alive
Something more than alright...
Just once...
The day has found itself an antithesis
To my slumbers.
Salts parched throats in summer's heat
The day has found itself an antithesis
