Tea
I had that dream again
last night
I still don't know what it was
and I only remember it vaguely
but now all I think about is
summer
the smell of grass
and my city
the stars
the full moon
and*
you.
I dreamed about you nearly every night this week.

Tea
A bird in the nest is
safe
warm
protected
but how will it fly?
If you're in the same place forever, you will never get hurt. But you will also never grow.

How will you convince a man
that his own garden is beautiful
if he insists on
looking over the fence?
Interpret it as you wish.

Tea
The shadows are waiting
The voices are chanting
In the humming I hear
slow taps

The eyes start bleeding
The lungs aren't breathing
Silently I hope for an
inevitable collapse

The throat starts coughing
The devil is laughing
I wait patiently for the
pain to start

The darkness empowers
The emptiness devours
But there's still a faint beat in
this hollow heart
I used to want to be the wind because
it had a way of rustling you
when I couldn't even make you budge.
Don't fall for boys with curled lips billowing smoke
into the air
because they won't catch you in their smoke rings.
Just like dream catchers
never caught my bad dreams
and I dreamed of you every single night.*
