Tell me about the dream; *where you found yourself surrounded in a sandy vacancy and the sweat on your face glistened like wishes in a American fountain;* Tell me about the dream; *Where you saw the remains of the house your mother grew up in And how you were amazed by the black shade that skeletons could take;* Tell me about the dream; *Not the dream you had when you slept all night wanting to go back inside to your mother’s womb; the dream about the inconsistency of light in your apartment;* Tell me about the dream; *When you were five in Philadelphia, it was snowing like bed sheets like falling stars like— I can’t remember; is it amnesia— no I just can’t remember;* Tell me about the dream; Where rain kamikazes across your windows; shattering themselves into millions,  for the sun to take back Tell me about the dream; *The inconsistencies of light; how a bulb dying is similar to us; the way Its flashes in front of itself just before it goes dark;*

The Problem With The Sun
Tell me about the dream; *where you found yourself surrounded in a sandy vacancy and the sweat on your face glistened like wishes in a American fountain;* Tell me about the dream; *Where you saw the remains of the house your mother grew up in And how you were amazed by the black shade that skeletons could take;* Tell me about the dream; *Not the dream you had when you slept all night wanting to go back inside to your mother’s womb; the dream about the inconsistency of light in your apartment;* Tell me about the dream; *When you were five in Philadelphia, it was snowing like bed sheets like falling stars like— I can’t remember; is it amnesia— no I just can’t remember;* Tell me about the dream; Where rain kamikazes across your windows; shattering themselves into millions,  for the sun to take back Tell me about the dream; *The inconsistencies of light; how a bulb dying is similar to us; the way Its flashes in front of itself just before it goes dark;*
