a dream of
night skin you & day skin you
crawling from the barrows
to give to hold, drinking you in
before the everblind
leave me to slumber at
the foot of your altar
with peekaboo sunshine
warming the empty of eye
let this mantic fade from view
a nightmare of
night skin you & day skin you
crawling from make-dust
from the depths of our youth
night skin you, day skin you

“crawling from make-dust” – I like that
Thanks Tara. 💙
Not to copy the comment below, but the make-dust line is fantastic. It feels with youth we are that creative make-dust.
I’m sure Tara doesn’t mind. 😉
Thanks Bob.
Nice!
Thanks Sharon. 💙
You are welcome, Michael! X
I like the sense of being split in this piece – what we are in night is not what we become in the light.
And then there are the periods of gloaming 😉
