i was pulled out of bed by a single thread it tugged me to death by my clothing and i was lead to a door i’d never seen before with an old gentle glow of it’s opening i was a child pressed against your flower dress i clung to it like i did before i lost you and i could tell you were cured, you were happier your perfect words were the comfort that you offered
i sat and thought about the way that women talk how carefully their words were chosen and without missing a beat, you lift me off my feet and throw me in the depths of the ocean
i had a dream that i couldn’t breathe that the vicious sea was attacking it wrestled my tongue as it filled my lungs with the pressure that i’d been avoiding and i sank to the depths where the bodies slept and a sign that read it’s warnings “he who opens his mouth while already drowned insults the knowledge of the ocean”
so i sat inside to wait for it to dry until the sun had turned the sea into a meadow when i opened my eyes you were by my side waiting for me with the trees and the pebbles
i said, “how could this be”. you said, “i just followed the string that comes to me when i sleep, when i’m dreaming. my little star, my baby love, i wasn’t giving up just taking the break i thought i needed” i said, “build me a wall thats indestructible place it all around my body have it blocking the sun so that when it comes and i’ll be right here where you left me”
i’ll sleep away the sadness of today and bury deep in the sheets that surround me yeah i’ll sleep until the blankets and the quilts dissolve into the soil around me
