24 “Je reve de toi est-ce-que tu reves de moi?” by Emma Rosenberg

I dream of you but do you dream of me too?

float through my head

loose molecules with no destination

you rub me the wrong

way

the side of my heart

a sharp pain of focus

prickles, pin, pricks, pindown, pain

digging into the side

of my ribs

twisting side to side

I can feel the vibrations

shakiness in my face

from the tips of my fingers

le centre entre mes yeux

my toes, anything goes

should be everything goes wrong

I don’t just want anything

I want the thing grown with love

that leaves nothing

but bitterness on my

tongue

goodbye

going backward

trickle slowly down my arms

flood, weaving through my veins

it is insurmountable that

I should survive my life

without

you

me

a deep sleep

wondering what could be

on the bottom of my coffee mug

steam rising up

but a dream.
