In Dreams -

I know the silence of a room

From vast nights consumed

In sheets and skin

I know the windows when they’re closed

The blinds when they’re unrolled

For no light gets in

It shows in the distance you grow

The sorrow you show

And when it shows

It shows in the mirrors you see

In dreams that cannot be

Wide awake

It shows in a stranger you saw

A face from afar

You thought you knew

It shows in the distance you grow

The sorrow you show

And when it shows
