she dreamed of sweet
& beautiful
things
skipping across planets
kissing the
stars
as they passed her by
she drank herself
dizzy
from hollow asteroids
& stumbled into
the arms of a celestial
king
every so often when
her eyelids would
flutter
& she felt time move
ever so slowly
she'd realize the gist
& jest of it all
waking to find her hands
tied as she dangled
from the ceiling
***** feet scraping the floor
morphine dreaming
the genie appeared
not a smile in his gaze
but a sick
satisfaction
& asked her for the third and
final wish
"where am I?"
she whispered, vocally
& spiritually
drained
he pressed his
brittle lips
to her
trembling forehead
"sleep"
he said
as he drank the blood
from her bare
pale neck
& under she went
above to the
stars
home sweet home
