Dream

of peculiar flowers/like sound of laughter/fluid in words you could spell/only after lettering down/libations on territories/virgin with mystic bites/of your footsteps/creating gardens/of hope beyond tales

Half a Bridge

Someone broke me
when I wasn't looking
someone broke me
and hid my pieces in air
so I search with every breath
what my other pieces are
where my other pieces went

Someone broke me
and kept it a secret
Now everything I find
could be me
so I carry on illusions
and drop off memories 
I run to places I should have walked to 

Someone broke me
and forgot that they did
And I, forgot who did
So I’m here
looking everywhere

for me
