Undreamt

There was so much distance between me and the moon and everything else outside
and I knew I could think further than the moon and all the other moons
And there was a dark figure standing outside my window
keeping everyone awake with rasping sounds on the windowpane
and I felt that all the strength I could use to travel further than the moon would
be used up on this
because the night before, bathed in salty Godly tears
My mission was to liberate the dark figures outside my window
and that was enough to raise a storm
dreaming each night there was a silver dome outside me and the moon
keeping us inside


I spent time looking forward
and when I could breathe for a second
looked up, from the side
and a strange rupture
brought the abyss of tortured wonder, closer than it should be
Books and paintings and smiles and hugs and mirrors and sunshine and
flowers all died at his feet
his godly, black feet
stormdrain for both our tears


I ran around him in my dreams,
but directionless
he always faced me
and as the Moon's pull called out to me
night time star gaze travel dreams
a kind of universal ship sank into me
