Me

The break of day,
a new wind,
everything colorless,
I walk the streets.
Lovers sit under a pale sky,
whispering,
holding,
loving.
I look down.
The hems of my too long pants brush the black grass.
When I look back up the scene before me has changed.
My family is before me now.
They are praying over a grave.
I look at my brother.
He is young and innocent.
I walk closer to look at the stone my family is talking to.
No! I yell.
I jump into nothing as I realize that I am just a spirit roaming Earth.
Desperately, I claw for something,
anything.
Screams!
I look around again and I'm in my room.
Cold sweat pours down my face.
A dream.
I close my eyes.
Sleep washes over me and I dream yet again.
