Last night my dreams misunderstood me
and were lost to the screams
of the angels outside my window.

Like sirens they beckoned
and slowly milked my dreams
into a salty winged terror,
which let me crawl upon it's breast
as it flew into my darkness.

I traveled to a place called sorrow,
where no one spoke my language,
all mistook my pain for beauty,
this beauty that slices my soul.

The blood pours thick and hot from my wounds
and in dark flowing rivers that dance across my world.

To heal those wounds is unthinkable...


I need to travel to a distant planet
where angels don't scream,
beauty doesn't cause pain,
and my blood is blue
like the sky
and the earth.



Kim Mordecai, January 7, 1992
