Life dream

 I’m chasing footstepsthrough my mind where time shiftsblind alley & twenty yearsis but a kiss, a touch, a murmuredslip, of who we are. This acid springhas cut my heart in strips: it’s pumping blossomall my blood drained & bagged. Your hands aresearching for a grip, it tipsme into sleep. I’m chasing shadows’where we hide on threshold not yetcrossed, & everything looks grey throughtelescopic lens of age: it creeps into mybones; slowing impulse stifling change. Yes, I’m chasingfootprints in my mind I reach for you your softness slipsbetween my fingers like this life:this life all mine. (Listen here.)
