The Theran Mystique - Volume 7, Issue 2

Dreamer
-------
Convince me,
for every sunbeam questions your existence.
The air wrapping each empty branch wrinkles
with whispers of words once tumbled from your lips.
Faceless figures wearing stolen fragments
file past, backs front,
silent - until a touch rends their tissue paper costumes;
pieces of you drift to the floor;
strangers emerging from familiar chrysalises
exchange odd glances for confusion.
Cheated,
tormented,
I retreat.
At dusk, disappearing,
squirrel paws etch shadows of your awakening.
I wait, breath bated, as day's formata shrinks
to slivers and stitch marks patterning across the sky.
