I slept
a deeper sleep
dreamed a silvered dream
of long soft couches
under blankets
where we giggle like children
And forget what we fear

whispers across the pillow
and pages turning
whispers on skin
and paper tearing
mumbling under your breath
and books closing

spread out under open skies
stars and thready clouds
the only witness
to how we end this day
did you choose to spin the stars
into circles of light
or lay
and let them turn themselves
as I turn to you

Take my hand
while we walk this dreamscape
this nightscape
trading minutes for something
near extraordinary
more costly than time
an infinite moment
with no rhyme

sometimes,
the only solace
is knowing
that scar
that image
in your mind
has a twin
in them

behind closed eyes
I still your face
my hand reaches for nothing
and I feel you press a kiss
to my palm
eyes close tighter
so my hand can reach again
And feel your beating heart

I thought to mesh an incongruity
pull two edges together
before I realized
I'm not the puzzle
I am the air between the pieces

I flew
on the wind of an uttered name
and fell to earth
gripping strands of hair
caught before I hit the ground
I floated
on a silver sea of years
that sings all the songs I know
making me forget the words
humming the tune
I dove
beneath a surface calm as glass
hiding burning currents
pulling me down to the sand
that made the surface crystal clear
I rested
on the bottom
holding your hand

When you needed them
they we're always there
the few, the many, the endless many
uncaring of use
just wanting to be used
so now you curse them
still they wait
words
wanting to be used

laughing,
in deep and screeching tones
a table full of cards
hands passing at the speed of light
I smile
and absorb the visible moment
of a happy life
moments you should always take
being so many
but so quick to take flight
