If Dreams were Windows II by ~staxu:iconstaxu:

Categories Literature > Poetry > General Poetry > Open


If dreams were windows,
stones would have broken them,
flung from outstretched hands
in a picturesque and lonely suburb,
and as the glass shatters inward,
the loveliest breeze would steal through the pane,
cooling feverish hearts with its gentle touch.

But dreams are dreams and
windows are windows, and stones are not
dream-permeable like your touch. So,
that stone did not shatter glass,
but it did crush my sleeping head
in a spray of astral ooze,
finally putting an end
to all this nonsense about
fevers and shattered glass hearts.

You should probably read that one; people tend to strangely like it more than anything else I've written.

Felix gave me the idea for this sequel, mostly.

The more I read it, the more I like it.

But I don't like astral ooze, or long sentences.

It's so adorably you. And it's hilarious.
