![]() something left behind.A Poem by John Cuttito
The ambiguity of consciousness.
This is not real.
Dream stage. You dance upon the
Waters edge. Ghost lips. This too
Shall pass before the eyes beneath
The applications of laughter.
A representation of domestication.
You hold your leash handing off
The lead. Hold it tight. Hand me off,
Holding this you take the lead.
You let go, this part means nothing now.
Destruction of constructed silent partners.
This will not be named love after all. The
Dreamer dies only upon awakening. Eyes
Opening wide, the ghost whispers something
Sweet and holds me all night long.
I drink her tears while you hold her heart.
I’ll hold my heart while you hold her hand.
The ghost stirs, a shadow kiss. I’d take it all
To keep the fire warm.
