Sheep
under midnight moon
your silhouette is you,
lined by broken glass.
nightlight offer little comfort
nightmares become real,
tangled hair makes a chokehold
around my neck,
nightlights are secretly ghost makers.
fingers feel thick,
tie a slip knot,
whisper a chant for dawn,
chase the ghosts away.
(they've made my hand a
skeleton out of days
that is a dream away)
ghosts remain,
it's chased the sheep away,
fleece like coal-dark wires
and tangled hair,
a noose.
(hopefully it's a slip knot)
hide-and-seek with ghosts
is hard.
(my mind is playing me.)
fade away into broken glass.
sheep's all gone,
I count my regrets instead.
