Upside Down

In ceilings and cracks it peeps
From corners doused in darkness it speaks 
Was this not engraved in memory-
     Embossed and sealed secretly?
From torchered dreams, we awake from sleeping
Into misty nights we emerge, craving
Looking for that which will ground us
     That which will divine our speech
     That which will draw us closer despite the pain of living purely through memory.
