Sleep
October 16, 2008
Sleep
Last night- the sky fell on me.
I was obliterated by the darkness.
Felt the suction of the sky suckling my skin.
I felt it.
I heard it.
I bathed in the heat of the night.
Walked with sleep.
Sang with the hush of the wind,
The sky broke my tongue,
So I painted demons on its remains,
And swallowed a nightmare.
I captured dreams,
I held them.
I felt them,
Last night-the sky fell on me,
But I glued it back by morning.
