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
