Smoke swirls
Found my arm slowly rising
Hand grasping nothing
Disregarding
At the sky
The ceiling
The grey
And I fell asleep
Looking at the smoke swirling
Sun falling
Sleeping

_______


I fell asleep to the wind crying
But I didn’t wake up
I didn’t wake up
I laid and yelled as a mute
Throat sewn
But I think the sky heard
And it woke me up
Then I forgot why I was there
But I guess
Tonight I’ll hear these windy tears again
And I’ll share their sadness

_______


I didn’t want to sleep
Because I didn’t want
The day to end again.
Yet dawn still rose

While waking inside the moon;
Night across the room,
Glowing Curtains —
I opened them;

Stayed there.
Again, I wept,
Never knowing why I cried.

_______


Night cradled me,
Said to wake up later.
I Awoke as the sun rose,
The kleptomaniac moon stole the day.

Clouds keeping shine away,
Invisible uncaring spheres,
Indifference shown,
Horizon swallowed.

Mountain peaks and hills,
High as I couldn’t dare to see,
The ground found its peace,
I felt my size far from the sea.

_______


Shining bright grey clouds
Covering the dust of my eyes,
They yell out in wind.
The tarp is hit;
The trees are creaking.
Dusk leads way to an escape:

A sad and anxious road.
Coveting leaves falling,
Humidity clasps on wheels,
I feel it behind the wheel,
And I think about what it was like
Living, sleeping, a decade away,

And I realize the song is the same
As it was a decade back then.
The sun still rose and I still am alive,
And everyone else disappears.
Before I join them in thoughts,
I need a smoke.
