sueños en las nubes in dreams we rise, in clouds we drown, the sky too proud, the earth too bound i sat and asked the night dic mihi was it a dream? i saw a bird sailed past the molten rim at twilight its wings like whispers, clipped and stitched i thought of you i thought of us wondered why we still climb the stratum of impossibility where horizon bowed like a chalice of fire, heaven stoops to kiss the palimpsest of sin gulls carved silver glyphs across the vault, and yet between their arcs your shadow bloomed, half-light, half-flame ignes a c r (o) s sand was strewn with constellations, each grain a memory, that i cannot retrieve i stepped closer, tide grew still as if the ocean reckoned the next wave would carry your ebbs your breath made my phobia scattered in the wind and when you smiled sea ignited with immensely hues, a miracle, born only in the hush between your heartbeat and mine el amor es la eternidad still, we rise still, we seek still, we burn when the chain is broken, the world is written in blood all one paragraphs combine, become one symphonic verse of us then came that dopamine drought brought about the alphabetical neuronic withdrawals, as hungry as a language fiend, linguistic coagulation formed scabs as letters clotted, I plotted, as the waters below reflect the sky’s above while carrying its own depths within, I don’t need proof, I leap into you with a feather and paradox, because I was designed to remember what I’ve forgotten beyond the hazel horizon of my eyes.
