Wake and Dream

All senses heightened
each thought, each dream
conceived and carried
in a womb of time
concealed in hidden corners
of the mind.

This must be honest.
This must be an honest rendition.

On the hook now.
responsible.
outcome.
self.

I am sorry I showed up this way,
unannounced.

I am levitated,
moving,
crucified,
vindicated.

I want it to wake me.

I want to open my face to the sun,
to circumvent the leafless tree
swathed in a layer of ice,
decipher the unwritten
scriptures I’ve lost.

Wake if you dare.
Wake if you dare.

The ravens taunt me.
Their lure is deceiving
with song as sweet as
the lover’s first love note

It was a single hand
perched atop a bison
being charged by the clan
in the dead winter.

The message was clear.

Wake if you dare.
Wake if you dare.

Perch your hand atop
cataclysmal dreams.

Charge against the winter.
Charge against the air.
Fly together,
and wake me
if you dare.
