As I lie in wake
my body wedged between consciences,
I dream a dream like no other,
a dream of sadness,
of happiness,
a dream of fear,
of peace,
yet, I lie

Awake

And backwards
my dreams take,
through cobbled streets and ally ways,
backyards and worn trails
effects spiralling between realms, consciences
I cannot tell though

as I lie
wondering when sleep borrows
my soul
though a watered down death
one that reverses,
giving life,
forwards, backwards
concealed beneath
the darkness

I lie,
awake
