coined by night with closing of eyes
shadows fall with a hush of silence
and weightless gravity incognito
of the dark fading to indigo
bleeding into the sheets
of the quiet abyss
dissolving into nocturnal dreams
the dreams of yesterday, today and tomorrow.
chewing eternity in the mouth.
felt always bitter and sweet
oh so sweet.
Collaboration with Atticus Abey
