days seem longer to you than they are
you can't explain this to your friends
when you mention you haven't seen them
for centuries
the blush roses are new
the stars hidden
on the other side of the building
maybe the clocks will be backwash
then when you wake up
you won't feel sick anymore
you went to sleep and dreamed
that the sky so full of pinwheels
was lifted off frail shoulders
by the angels.
