Dream On...

ILLUSIONS

X

Water isn't a peril

unless you're drowning in it.

You imagined you could start

your own way of breathing

while riding the waves.

x

Now you want me to save you.

I can say yes,

I can.

x

I know how to put my mouth to wounds

to kiss the damage away.

I myself write notes to saints

x

but every bleeding gash I show

proves less worthy

than the stigmata.

x

Alright, I'll save you.

First time for me too.

x

Step one,

stop nailing smoke to the wall,

then

send flowers to your memories,

and bury them

as if they were a dead princess.
