I hear you in a dream calling out. Searching for that someone you have never known. I sit alone in a rotating corner—shadows forming all your favorite shapes.
My dream-self does not know where it belongs in such dreams. Always wishing it could tell you that I am findable. That in your equation I can be proven.
You’ve seen my silhouette, coming off the walls you walk along. It hinders the burning sun for you; is a barrier when it’s cold. But have you looked closely, lately? Look now.
And though not in the shape of a crown or a single, confident rose, it is not a dangerous thing. It is not meaningless. Did you even know, you’re its maker?
These are the things I want to tell you. But my dream-tongue must hold. It holds because I know that in the place where we actually speak we are speaking our last words.

I hear you in a dream calling out.
Searching for that someone
you have never known. I sit alone
in a rotating corner—shadows forming
all your favorite shapes.
My dream-self does not know
where it belongs in such dreams.
Always wishing it could tell you
that I am findable. That in your equation
I can be proven.
You’ve seen my silhouette, coming off the walls
you walk along. It hinders the burning sun for you;
is a barrier when it’s cold.
But have you looked closely, lately?
Look now.
And though not in the shape of a crown
or a single, confident rose,
it is not a dangerous thing.
It is not meaningless.
Did you even know, you’re its maker?
These are the things I want to tell you.
But my dream-tongue must hold.
It holds because I know that in the place
where we actually speak
we are speaking our last words.
