Je Rêve de Toi Est-Ce-Que Tu Rêve de Moi Aussi?

Published in Boundless Magazine

I dream of you but do you dream of me too?

float through my head 

loose molecules with no destination 

you rub me the wrong 

way 

the side of my heart 

a sharp pain of focus 

prickles, pin, pricks, pin down, pain 

digging into the side

of my ribs 

twisting side to side 

I can feel the vibrations 

shakiness in my face

from the tips of my fingers 

le centre entre mes yeux 

my toes, anything goes 

should be everything goes wrong

I don’t just want anything 

I want the thing grown with love 

that leaves nothing 

but bitterness on my

 tongue 

goodbye 

going backward 

trickle slowly down my arms 

flood, weaving through my veins 

it is insurmountable that 

I should survive my life 

without 

you 

me

a deep sleep 

wondering what could be 

on the bottom of my coffee mug

steam rising up 

but a dream.
