Bubblegum Sandwich

Had that strangest time feeling caught myself between my eyes awake in a dream floating certainties of sensing this reality another finality something somewhere with beneficent intention Couldn't sleep felt myself within a subterranean hearth burning irregular drifting in flames a voices continuance from out of the deep repeating an endless of unknown names Fantastical or grotesque this curious unsure thing this state of design these things of who we are shadows of a million mortals the sacred geometry in what are we made of standing together in a dawn the resolution all our wellsprings of emotion Restless under my sheets of sleepless too many icons to circle around my cheating consciousness too much thinking within their sound a wounded Minotaur pacing through a labyrinth seeks its surface within creation I rattled against the iron fretful at the truth beyond let me out of this prison this fear for centuries has surrounded them it's bubblegum sandwich their only meal to chew on Tired at sunrise same impromptu day the purse of unhinged beneath my eyes peering between clenched jaw my confusion insomnia too quiet to do me any good but place this commotion upon a shelf there may gather its heedless dust there in its realm of unbidden disturbance but leave me forever marked and on its goading point remain dreamless
