awakened // 2

little boy,
shake yourself awake
from lucid
nightmares,
wipe off the dust
of unrealized daydreams,
bend
when you see straight lines
and bleed for
love.

and when your toes
graze the top of secret graves,
you will live
louder
than the kiss of spring
and steal
sunlight
away
from shadows.

little boy,
this is the beginning
of the beginning,
when you break down
the sound barrier
of
your
own silence
and surf the
top
of sine waves -

do not
be afraid.
