Burning Through Dreams
Curved around my dreaming
I dive deeper.
Cities shimmer, war-torn.
Your image morphs into a candle flame
wavering before me.
Streets curve and reform under strange skies.
Oceans surge and tower, falling.
Lifted by the night’s tsunami,
I awake
with dreams lying tangled in my hair,
the taste
of the moon in my mouth.
Your memory
lies flashing
like animal eyes in the dark
clear
bright
burning.
