The 365 Project Pt. II

birds sawing away in trees asleep
dreaming what earthbound means
or what freedom wedded deep in
the sea might be there are dreams
of foot or fin behind tiny birdlids

i used to dream i was invisible
then i was for real until i could
be seen again i used the time to
decide between inside or outside
until i realized it was all the same

oh how does it come to this
how does it come to this
first we’re dreaming to leave
then we’re leaving to dream
oh how does it come to this

we'll be buried in all this pour it
on pour it on together we can wrap
ourselves in blankets made from
the dust of days stitched tight with
threads of spit from deepest kisses

oh how does it come to this
how does it come to this
first we’re dreaming to leave
then we’re leaving to dream
oh how does it come to this
