dream_floor
epitome of incomprehensibility From the night before. It's transparent or at least translucent, a light amber with faint lines where the beams fit together. It ends about eight feet below my own feet. I wonder if this is where shadows walk. 251201
...
raze sometimes it's an ocean
with nothing at the bottom
but sand that slips through
my toes like a sluggish sign
i'm too ravaged to recognize.

sometimes it's carpet-
covered wood welded
to a world that no
longer wants me for
a sad-eyed squatter.

and sometimes
it's the base
of the dream itself
strong enough to
support my weight,
but only for as long
as it takes to fall
in and out of love
with a beautiful lie.
