i dreamt i was
a syllable
inside a word,
and the word was joy
and joy
was
you.
the word was flight,
flight was song,
song was you.
and
i did not want to sleep,
or sleep so long,
that i would not wake,
or wake up too soon,
and flee the ground
too early, too late,
to watch the sky you wake
bleed ribbons
of laughter
over days that have never been,

to laugh
and find you
there,
to scream joy
and not leave
the sky
empty
to wake
between dream
and sleep, to gentle
your name with my lips,
to whisper fears
back
to oblivion
to feel
my heart thudding
the essence
of you
inhaling
me,
soul and self,
back to
life
to laugh
and find
you
everywhere; to
scream
and not
leave
the warm you’ve
spun
out of my
cold
to laugh
and not leave
the
sky
