Barefooted Personified Sonnets
by @lyss-gia
You told me you dreamt of stars
From before cave painters
And ice ages
Celestial
You said you came from the time
Before “Let there be light”
When light and dark pooled
And eddied together
You said we could exist
In an isolated state
When even oil and water were in love
And we are but atoms
And you said
We could run away from
The ills and the joys and
The businessmen clocking in on time
But I am a cynic
And a threw down your sonnets
And your romance
Because I’m not a dreamer
