Water to Dust

Life
This dream
This long walk
With time to pull
The string of reality
Up
Into it
To gibe
To bite
To put the back
Of a hand
To your head
Rolling whispers and pulls you by the cuff
“Listen you, you stupid and I know it.”
You stupid and I know it
You stupid and I know it.

When life so strong
So full
So much a wind in your face
It takes the breath in a swallow
Wakes you up in water
Saturation
Never on solid ground
Bleeds out of you
A wish
To shelter of dust
To dust
To pass within the inner outskirts
Of another town you’ve missed
Oh, forget simple
Give me fearless retrograde
Or stupidity
Or release,
Forgetful
Or blessed less
The dream gives way
Just.
Life.
