Slipping in and out of sleep
I take my eyes from your ghostly face
From the light of the mobile phone
Nightly dives that we take alone
Steep up the shores until
The waters ebb up by the lower lids
Darker movements scare me
Beneath the water's edge
And as I sink beneath my wave
There's nothing to confess or feign
Above a city left in ruins
My vision starts to shake
My lover's lost to memory
I'll see her when I wake
And as I glance across her neck
The hurried pace of her feather breath
The pain across her face
A vision of her home ablaze
