Dreaming Hard

  
Dreaming hard of a night light on waking & heavy on sleep.

The Otherside of Daylight

  

Temporary tears delay your entrance to the night, the otherside of daylight ready for your fall but still the stamina in you clings. I loiter at white lines watching red & green alternate until your sleeping breaths are contently exhaled via pretty little lungs conducting symphonies in nightlights.

Sleeplessness Creeps

 

Sleeplessness creeps as an evening evaporates; the tears of a legacy the olympian chasing my fragile bed-bound body.

Angel In Disguise

You could dance on the strings of a heart of stone & steal breaths from a stranger in the afterglow.

Are you an angel in disguise?

BHS

  

My heart stopped when I thought her heart had stopped. She exhaled and a tsunami of relief washed over me, my cardiac muscle caught up on time and pounded like a snare for a full minute.

I did the research and became a believer in the need to spread the word on the techniques & consequences of BHS.

Parents: do not fear.

Armed & In Demand

Dancing through the kitchen to obtain provisions that satisfy hunger cries:

I’m armed & in demand.

August And Everything After

We wake from a half-sleep at deafening dawn; a dreamless slumber severed in three doesn’t prepare us as it should for a day of work & childcare.

Harry Redknapp-esque eyelids haunt us from the get go, making vision a chore and aesthetics a no show. We do our best to put one foot in front of the other but fail spectacularly.

We pray we make it through the day:

THIS IS AUGUST AND EVERYTHING AFTER.
