lyrics

dawn mist has no color

just vapor rising
from the surface
may be tile
maybe the flat
polish of the mirror
river look in
but not reflected
time lingers long
when no one
strokes your hair
and you have
lain with dew drop
eyelids that stung
so raw you have been
stripped down
torn into ribbons
mummified silence
rolled up with the
linens and canvas
leaned into the wall
but not forgotten
waiting for the hand
to catch you up.
to lay you out
formed along the
the straight wood
frame tree was once
not linear veins root to branches
arteries carry fear of night
paths in dark fairytales
when we don’t know
what comes for us from
the cobwebs
we can’t see tears
drip across the sheets
as they wet they
release deeper into
the cloth become
a stain a shade
or a shadow a
shared memory a
faint cry into your pillow
stifled and now
masked so
even our words
are misheard
and we all
look lost with
weary eyes
and half faces
trying to wake
from this dream
