In dreams speaking

in other language

Held you closely

Fed on lightning

How could you see beacons shining in the shallow?

How could you know relief while sinking to

mirages out of view?

Crawl and wander

Tears to water

Growing this garden alone

How could you see beacons shining in the shallow?

How could you know relief while sinking to

mirages out of view?

Blues and golds—

jewels for Heaven knows

I know I hear the sound

Imagine loving you

at funerals for the few

Navel gazing birds escaping

before the quake comes crashing

Waiting in the light to die

Bound wet legs splayed for the heat wave

Waiting in the light to die
