i dream in paper

i dream in paper
walls thin of shadow
under a pastel moon
hang barbed of wire
set singing on wind
these long cold of night

scatter you pink
scatter you wine
down by the riverside

steal heart my bone
folded pale of pale
i dream in paper
under a pastel moon

    This captures the fragility of our dreams effectively. I can relate.
