Moments in a minor key

By Dcred

HEAD AND HANDS

I woke with this marble head in my hands; 
it exhausts my elbow and I don’t know where to put it down. 
It was falling into the dream as I was coming out of the dream 
so our life became one and it will be very difficult for it to separate again. 

I look at the eyes: neither open nor closed 
I speak to the mouth which keeps trying to speak 
I hold the cheeks which have broken through the skin. 
That’s all I’m able to do. 

My hands disappear and come towards me mutilate
