dream

early dusk waking from a dream that has your heart dampened, beating slow and heavy

I saw you cry in my dream

you held your tears

in a fist and screamed

I pinned your secrets

to the ceiling and peaked

through the lights

flickering those shivering hands

against the wall

on your chest and I

just sat there holding my breath counting

yours

‘till you fell asleep

and the sun finally rose

it’s the kind of dream

you wouldn’t wish for

but now

you’re not

here and it’s all I hope for and

darling once this scene is all

over all

that’s left for me is to

re cover
