Sleeps and Dreams


I know why the icy river flows so fast this time of year,
And I know why the words I whisper fall upon deaf ears.

The dark was heavy on my breast-a weight of lead shaped perfectly
to stay the movement of my chest and hold me in a broken dream.

I know why it’s easier to sleep and dream, than wake;
to sleep and dream’s a lawless reality I can make.
