Last night I had a dream
Of a clear summer’s night
When the ocean was reflected in the sky
And the fish fed off pieces of the moon
And made ripples in the trailing clouds
I was lying crumpled and broken in my bed
Just awoken to the stars
Dancing along my sheets like leaves waltzing through the park
When suddenly my mind began dribbling from my mouth in pieces
Notes and letters brushing against my lips
It spilled onto the carpet
I was hearing sounds and songs but could not recognize these voices
As my mouth stretched wider like a projector
I saw every memory I ever had piled
And bound in papers like books
With their open covers whispering their stories to me
I was afraid
When I turned my head some snapped forward demons
And covered me in their sickening blood and misery
While some washed me in tears until I couldn’t breathe
And I began crushing stars in my hand as I grabbed the sheets
Looking for something to wrap myself inside of
When suddenly some cloud of sunshine came wafting through
Held me in its cooling mist
Let me sit and laugh and smile
At the strangeness of it all
So this is life, huh?
Of a clear summer’s night
When the ocean was reflected in the sky
And the fish fed off pieces of the moon
And made ripples in the trailing clouds
I was lying crumpled and broken in my bed
Just awoken to the stars
Dancing along my sheets like leaves waltzing through the park
When suddenly my mind began dribbling from my mouth in pieces
Notes and letters brushing against my lips

And bound in papers like books
With their open covers whispering their stories to me

And covered me in their sickening blood and misery
