i had a dream

where the days bled into each other

time rewinded

and my body was heavy as lead

and my bones light as dove feathers

the sky forever dripped, in a shade of dreaded peach

sliced by aquamarine missiles

i could not breathe

i could not sleep

the eyes had returned

all golden

judging

ephemeral beings

they began eating away at my hands

then, at my heart

i blinked

and there you were

ready to birth me

again
