Land of Wallflowers

I drink till the moonlight sinks deeply into my covers,

Where time has no mind, and no side-effects to gather.

May I sleep better than the days before,

Never to watch my ghost drift away towards the door.

 

Some raise their glass to the sky,

Some to the clink of another,

But I and I, bare and dry,

Give pity to my nerves without a bother.

 

As I turn the pages of a new novel,

Where the moon swings with the stars,

Soft and jovial,

Like towards an infinite inclinations of a son and mother.

 

Friends holding the cracks within my hand,

******* the toxic liquid from my skin.

We walk together among the wallflowers covering the land,

As a single, sole thought of entangled vines that we suspend.
