The Invisible

Day burns down to night,

Burns the edge of my soul.

In the night I break into sparks of suns

and become fires in a dust of bones.

Night knifes. My breath swallows whole my tongue.

Turn back Reverse return,

In the night I see the real,

Concealed in the day's bright lie.

Eyes stitched shut. White teeth smile.

Sleep walk...s and talks

And feet mark time of day

 

[From the movie, 'The Invisible']

Just going through some old stuff, read this and thought of sharing it... One of my favorite poems, from the movie "The Invisible" (2007), from the scene where Nick Powell is reading the poem for his class.
