lunging

---------------------------------

dreams have begun to connect

threads and themes that run through

from one night to another

between weeks and days


beautiful faces that influence my waking life

rather that the reverse


horrible events that affect me

more than the visible cuts in my skin


longing and lunging for sleep

from one dream to another

between weeks and days


lovers I cannot contact 

whom hurt and heal


villains I cannot fight

whom taunt and torture


come back to me

into my head

come back into my life

into my reality

come back into my bed

into my sleep


tonight
