Dreamscapes

There is no autumn in my country

And I know

She knows

Because the rain, it cries with me

In my quiet lonely shivering sorrow

That I nuzzle preciously with my nose

I am so scared of myself

Ah yes, wound me

And let me feel

I am trying

I am not

There are knots in my hair that combs cannot pull through

For my curls come in their way

How unfortunate

How fortunate

I am

To be given a purpose to create

I have made an existence in this family

Of dusk,

Of Husks and of bale

But you are so tiresome

I fear in my faith

I am uncertain somehow

Yet very certain within it;

My beliefs do not solidify

They leak

From my inherited nose

And these eyes of mine

My eyes that trust so easily

So simply convinced by

Floating letters encircling my tongue

Can you see?

How separate I am from me?

That is my identity

Come nightfall,

The city rests easy

Teetering between here and there

And walking with wet feet upon a lazy string

We are quiet,

But

There is always breathing

Here on these dreamless nights I think,

Must it not be the last?

Now,

Now,

Not now,

I suppose;

We must wait a little bit longer

Just a little bit further

And into the sand

Step

Step

But softly,

Be gentle with its harrowed ribs

And shaking tender legs

You must be careful when you lay on it,

For it is lonely,

It could consume you whole

If only to love you

tenderly

But it would never bite

It would be so very sweet

As it takes you to the sea

And cradles your head

As the rain kisses your hair

As it helps you drown

As you breathe

Come nightfall,

My city is at peace

And my arms lay lazily stroking the shore

There is no mark at the centre of my forehead

Nor between my eyes

The wind is cold

But soothingly so

It fills me with a feverish warmth

I am so untired

Oh, how lonesome it must be

To have a heart

Rest here, awhile,

And let it go

Let the sea cradle it for you

Let yourself be hollow

It is easier to sleep, you know

I promise it wouldn't hurt

Only for a second

But it would make my stomach stop swirling

And your eyes

Your eyes would speak the truth
