Dreamcatcher

The flatline walk between two —
On each side, the little girl;
Night nears to crush bones —
The woman beneath sheets,

On each side, the little girl —
She's straining even on wings;
Night nears to crush bones;
Flowers slink low, while stars fall out —

She's straining even on wings —
Night nears to crush bones;
Flowers slink now, while stars fall out,
The flatline walk between two.

I love the refrain, "Flowers slink low, while stars fall out —" haunting dream stays with you. Belated congratulations on POTD, Paige!

This poem loops like a ghost breathing--aching, circling, beautifully trapped. The repetition feels like memory and dream colliding, especially *"night nears to crush bones"--*devastating. You've woven trauma and tenderness into something quietly shattering.

Dear Paige, this is hauntingly beautiful, like a dream just out of reach, slipping between light and shadow. The repetition pulls like a tide, drawing me deeper into its quiet ache. It lingers, like something half-remembered yet deeply felt. Truly stunning work, and yes Congrats on POTD! Winter Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

I like Hiya's word for this. Evocative. It fits for so many of your fascinating poems, Paige. Thanks for reading so many of mine recently

Dear Paige, the dark vibe of your imagery intrigues the imagination and chills the blood. The dream-catcher may be no match for the nightmare. Congratulations for your poem receiving POTD honors. Enjoy the accolades, my inspiring poet friend, they are well deserved. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

' Night nears to crush bones, the woman beneath sheets. ' Not a pleasant image. Since a dream-catcher is believed to catch those bad dreams and allow good dreams to pass through, let's hope that it worked here. Thanks for always supporting my poetry, Paige. Congratulations my dear friend, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy
