Lace<br />

There is lace in my dreams;<br />

Wavy rays of Moonlight and power<br />

and the will to go on;<br />

Yesterday, I broke everything,<br />

prayed over it like an undernourished Shaman,<br />

then put it all back together;<br />

These dreams have shown<br />

that you must ask yourself:<br />

Why<br />

Do I have the wisdom to grow<br />

And the sense to one day die<br />

There’s yellowed fiction in my dreams;<br />

Things that dance down in the heart, they fight<br />

through the blind curves of memories,<br />

twisting<br />

and writhing,<br />

making their way into my bed at night;<br />

I rub the scar on my head;<br />

It’s purple and white<br />

and mean;<br />

There’s the most marvelous beauty<br />

in the dirtiest things.<br />

My hands plow through my hair,<br />

shaking;<br />

There is lace in my dreams.<br />
