I have dreamed I've dreamed your image I've begun to believe You have ceased to exist In the tangible world The blistering humming We sleep Thousands of bats Feral, flesh-hungry Should I let them in Or sell off the property Incise the infection Invite their protection The lines in your face The taste of your body If I floated away Would you still recognize me Or maybe you don't No reason to go Embrace it alone Or just close the window A phantom reflection A faint recollection Incise the infection Invite their protection
