day 7

Midnight

1 sleepless soul

Welcome to the dreams I wish to awaken

Slip me into your wishes

like falling Cinderella cinder block hard

I am falling

cinder block hard

You are construction site cementing home

To

me

2

Your voice sits on the edge of my roof tile memory

Sleepless lullaby me asleep

Singsong tease me

Say we're home

I like it and

I like you

3

You told me

three worded phrases

always linger longer.

I can't forget

and I won't.

4

We are warm..

I love this.

I love you.

We are home.

5

I miss you

Like shattered mosaic door frames

Like Cinderella missing midnight

cinder block hard

Like I am one sleepless soul without you

What the fuck

I hate you

I hate this

6

I am awake

I am alive

I am strong

7

I am pretending

8

I am complete

Complete like black holes in broken skylights

and I don't remember where home is.

9

Cinder block hard,

Love, you just

shattered broken foundations.

Breaking cement strong chemistry bonds

Let the cold seep in

10

I forgot how warm home is.

11

I am pretending

Mornings are tough

Days get tougher

Nights are alive with pinch me awakes

with clammy finger nail memories

with tough skin that makes you love me

Skin is lovely

like love me lovingly tough

12

My skin is

alive and tougher

than morning day cement on cinder block wishes

than hugging gravity because I fell in love with being warm

than playing house because I can patch my broken skylights mosaic homely

I am happy and in love

like I let gravity scrape my knobby 12 year old knees

because love is just that

Falling like hanging door knobs

Midnight

Welcome to the sanctuary of my wishes

Hand security blanket to gravity

It will throw you dirt cold lovingly asleep

Because that is home and

That is homely lovingly and

this is home

I am home

in shattered cement door frames

in cinder block falling in love with broken in houses

with lousy security blanketed wishes

Welcome to the sanctuary of revelation

populated with lingering three word phrases

Lost in the beauty of the mid of night

Trace my singsong rooftop melodies

because

I am alone

lovingly loving me

because

you can't forget

one sleepless soul that made you fall faster than gravity

cement stick yourself to me

I am home

1

You are one sleepless soul

2

My voice will become native tongue to you

3

Three worded phrases are all you had to say

You are speechless

4

You are cold

5

Don't miss me

6

Fuck you

7

You are helplessly falling into broken black holed words

I am now cement heart strong

8

I am complete

9

Reality just hit you cinder block hard

and you miss me like Cinderella missing midnight

10

This home does not welcome you

11

You miss my warm skin

I am pinching you awake with tough fingernails

12

It's midnight and you are one sleepless soul
