If it carries on I will have to get a referral for a urine test…

If it carries on I will have to get a referral for a urine test…

Pass me over

When I am sleeping

Sprinkle angel dust

Let it settle upon my face

Lest my eyes come open

As the breath leaves

In slow remorse

It would be painful

To be reminded

Of the passing

Nothing hurts more

Than remembering

When the only future

Is looking back

At what it was

To have a future

To look forward to

I am lifted

Carry me away

Take no prisoners

It is unnecessary

When leaving

Is an adventure

There is no escaping

Forward motion

What was left behind

Will fall away

Dreams are shed

As easily as old skin

When we rise

To meet

The unmaking

Of an image

It will be craven

If we fail

To pull away from shadow

And embrace

The coming of the light.
