Forbidden Dreams


Stories of gods

Received purification.

Smoke waves

My voice

FORBIDDEN.

I had young dreams.


 

My knees like water.

Dead places.

Slain,

Weak,

Evil spirits

Of the great burning.

 

Eaten and drunk.

Asleep and torn.

Opposite side

 

Always in motion.

Summoned.

Perplexed and confused.
