I was mistaken
And alone
Even before my dreams murdered my past.
They had stolen my dog, my stars and my streetlamp.
The neighbor’s dog
Who shared my tears--
My screams no longer reach his ears.
The stars
That anchored me
Now drown in the depths.
The streetlamp
That every night illumined my dreams
Leaves me sleepless and alone.
And after those nights
I wake up again, a dark day for me.
A few withered trees, a ***** sea.
