~Midnight~

I feel
like French
curtains, white
airy thing's
that smell
of flowers
because I
can hang

I need
to peel the
wallpaper
see what's
underneath
the noise

you would
say I'm exceptional
say it
so easy
I believe it

I'm designed
to relay on
my dreams
even though
scars remain

the stars
start falling
outside on
the street

close says
shadows
it's always been
uneven wanting

tremendous trembling
in the dust
groceries and flowers
on a passing bus
that seems nice
midnight surprise
hats off
to you sir

a breath
needs to
help the fire
a warm,
glowing smile
is a waking fantasy

why didn't
you tell
me about
this superb
sensation of
getting back
to my life
possible and
impossible
tantalizing balance
