#278 how does it come to this
birds sawing away in trees asleep\ndreaming what earthbound means\nor what freedom wedded deep in\nthe sea might be there are dreams\nof foot or fin behind tiny birdlids\n \ni used to dream i was invisible\nthen i was for real until i could\nbe seen again i used the time to\ndecide between inside or outside\nuntil i realized it was all the same\n \noh how does it come to this\nhow does it come to this\nfirst we\u2019re dreaming to leave\nthen we\u2019re leaving to dream\noh how does it come to this\n \nwe'll be buried in all this pour it\non pour it on together we can wrap\nourselves in blankets made from\nthe dust of days stitched tight with\nthreads of spit from deepest kisses\n \noh how does it come to this\nhow does it come to this\nfirst we\u2019re dreaming to leave\nthen we\u2019re leaving to dream\noh how does it come to this\n \nepw 1.23.08 perrysburg, oh
