Daydreams

Daydreams
By Alicia Millar

comming in and out
I am a tide
sometimes the shore is rocky
and sharp
and i retreat for awhile
but never forever
the moon always pulls me back
to the lands of shapes and lines

but i prefer the ocean
where things have less
m a s s
rules are flouted
i am borrowed from gravity
which fights for purchase
and I'm (almost) weightless

if not for the moon
i might live here
forever
and have
strange dreams of
being awake
in the land of shapes and lines
