Siren's Mirage


Tomorrow’s lullaby

in footnotes to Dylan

Tomorrow blistering

confronting the sun

 

Tomorrow lingering

while calling your name

Temptation disguising

what’s never to come

 

Tomorrow’s redemption

the present to ransom 

Tomorrow in voices

a chorus of ghosts

 

Tomorrow forgiving

each sin of unmaking

Tormenting each moment

—you treasure the most
