Still in a Slumber

Lies and jaunts

Confusing me

Poorly constructed

There is no reason

Like droplets race

On the window

And books that

Stay closed



Glimmers of hope

Come from your eyes

They do not matter

They don't matter

Still in a slumber

Not yet awake



Dust and forgiveness

Reap what you sow

Tides and siblings

Snap at my heels

Slap and chase

Like cold that burns

And books that

Stay closed





Glimmers of hope

Come from your eyes

They do not matter

They don't matter

Still in a slumber

Not yet awake
