i dreamt of my sister,
thursday just,
and we finally got to talking,

like siblings should do,

but i woke up a little burned,
little rings of fire
scarred into my arms,

and i don't know why

i let it go for this long

---

i dreamt again,
friday just,
of these tumultuous
fault lines that led
back to me,
the gap just widening
'til i made her leap

---

back into my arms,
but they just spun

like clockwork,

and i lost her.

Author's Note: Not a real dream I had... though I do wish I talked to my sister more.
