between you and i,
more from me perhaps,
just little pieces of sky
ribbons drawn from memories,
colours from impossible sunsets
and ordinary things
like bookcases
wrapping paper
a stranger's smile
a computer screen
the bark of a dog
traffic lights
and other things we pass by
as we move from moment to moment
as we switch dream for reality
and reality for dream,
and in those words
and pauses too
you may find something
something that makes you forget to breathe
something that stops clocks
and buries eternity forever.
or you may find nothing at all.
either way, i will come.
