Mapping Memories There are spaces where we used to meet;Mapping Memories by ~Bexica
pavements, coffeeshops, doorways
The architecture survives our absence,
We're nothing special to the stonework
which watches people while it sleeps,
I'm not as hard, or cold, or weary
I smell you on the clothes of passing
strangers, I see your shadow's print
on every street.
Dreamers: Dancing Bear There is a shadow running back and forth through the embers of our campfire with no clothes on. I fall asleep curled back to back against my sister, as beer cans char and dew seeps through the lining of our tent. Dreams burst in with bolts of sound and shrieking light.Dreamers: Dancing Bear by ~Bexica
I wake up, search for socks, set off towards the source of all that music. Hours thump past and everything is mud and sweat and movement.
I wake up and sense the silence. A shape shifts in the pasty darkness, she sees my open eyes and mumbles "You sleep like a corpse".
Dreamers: China Girl There's a china doll sitting on my window sill smoking a cigarette for breakfast. She's been watching me sleep and it makes her smile; I look so serious when I'm dreaming.Dreamers: China Girl by ~Bexica
We trace the shape of our dreams with words and drowsy gestures, circling the parts we can remember. A cold wind stirs the ashes of our campfire. I dream of teeth. She dreams of taking herself apart and putting the pieces back together.
Dreamers: Toy Solider Boy I've been reported missing. My phone flashes triple-figure missed calls and the imp who keeps me hostage scratches sleep from his eyes like a vulture menacing a corpse. He cracks a grin and croaks "Do you like my walls?", they're lime green. It's a question that he's asked before.Dreamers: Toy Solider Boy by ~Bexica
Dawn creaks in. He strikes a match off my tongue and grants me every name under the sun except my own. He tips my face to his and says "In my dreams... I dream of killing people".
I shake my head, I roll my shoulders and I stumble towards home.
I've placed a link to it in the sidebar of my journal page.
