Sleep

There is a blue star on your door 
Silver foil around the house
Nobody in
Nobody out

All invitations must be inviting
She gurgles and burps
Through cherry pop lips 

The ginger pig laughs to see such fun 
And the girl ran away with the spoon 

One hand gives me flowers
The other makes me burn

I’ve flown to you in a dream before
Valentine powder and rust

Our head is higher than Hatter
She squeals
Brighter
Light 
Alive

We really are quite brilliant 
Sinking in the dark

The jam spins a vortex in the sink
Fervent
Like our wishes
Sticky as our thoughts

Quick sticks
Catch Rabbit’s watch
The bells are trapped in the mist
Clink
Clank
Sink
We surely must fall down

There is a blue star on your door
Silver foil around the house
I would like to peel you open
And tender to legend
Sleep.

  1. I like the thought of the blue star and foil. It's festive, but sad and strange, too. It makes me wonder what messages we're sending with the trappings on our doors, and on ourselves.

    Very true Jae! There are elements who come with ideas but it turned out to be duds. It is ok if they just leave it to themselves and not to bother others. Great lines! Merry Christmas and happy hols!
