Dreams
drag my eyes from sleep.
Will the words revolving
in my memory
coalesce into meaning, determine
themselves meant for reality?

No voice
confirms my hopes.

Silence
greets me with a Judas kiss;
traitorous saliva chills
my soul,
smothers listening hope.

Stillborn
cadences betray me,
refrains silence
into reverie;
forestalled voice
strangles into dream.
