Perched one on each post,
their shifting shadows,
creeping ever closer,
along the plucked camberwick bedspread.
Four Carrion eyes –
catching my breath,
the silence before the scream,
breaks the precocious dream.

What if…
I’m living the wrong life,
I’m not her,
and she’s not me.
I wanted a change,
to be free of the dreams,
I asked her to go,
but now it seems,
it was I that left,
and she’s left behind,
the dreams didn’t stop,
they’re here in her mind.
I made a mistake,
and I want her back,
without me here,
there’s a definite lack,
life is different,
in every way,
I silently wish,
she’d come and stay.
