Blood Letting

Reach into me
Where my dreams course
In a crimson sea

Take those living thoughts
From that home of a thumping heart
Take them far from me

Where they spill
Liquid only and not Life
Not the Sickness

Because dreams haunt hearts
And carry with them joy and pain
That circle round my bones

Do what heals the curse
Of too much earthly love
Too much Life

Turn it all off
By turning my skin open
And letting some of it go

Dreams splattered on linen
Pain wrapped in gauze
Joy in red liquid

Calm
The tides gone out
No more dreams
