unity
we close our eyes
pray for rain in the morning
place our heads on pillows
without feathers, but full of downs
bad dreams, sleepless nights
(toss) toss turn.
we dress in fake smiles
and heavy sarcasm like argyle socks
we fold them down to our ankles
then pull them up to our knees
we cover our thighs ?
Included waistband makes tights.
united we stand, as a group we fall.
laughter of children & creaking of swings
“london bridge is falling down… falling down.”
three part harmony of nightmares
our dream catchers catch the tooth fairy
and we take her tail.
at the end of the conversation
we’re still lost and wandering
we close our eyes
pray for rain in the morning
