phantom dream,
slide
harsh fingers down
sleep-
sloped skin.  lullabies
long forgotten, betrayal of self--
tonight,
you are an icicle
lodged between bruised ribs
melting slow.
nameless, you whisper
sweet nothings, breath on seashell curves;
bone-weary, veins fill thick with thin words.
in the morning, i wake thawed
save the imprints of your promises
wrapped like threads
on this
fraying heart.
