Fragmented Sleep.

I just want to dream in pastel colors
And burn my eyes in cold water
And share fate with another

I just want to skip until tomorrow can't catch me
And sing 'til I'm static
And dance; I'm electric

I just want to be a musical fever
Riddle my bones with the radio
Lace my veins with crescendo

I just want to be like those bricks called my teeth
Sleep inside a cherry cavern
Conduct an orchestra of greed

I just want to swell like a birthday balloon
Meet the jaws of caustic mayhem
Sketch a garden on the moon

I just want the magic of ink in my skin
And spit shadows into cynics
And taste skeletal sin

I just want to color this night sky in fragments
Sew my eyelids shut
And tie my lashes in a knot

Because by my sunlight-spilled window, I will have forgot.
