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.
