I write the banshee’s in my dreams
love letters to wake them up
and you fall hard to sleep and
don’t wake up again
why has this nightmare
descended upon me?
I was only beginning to see
the light in your shadow
the lull of your kiss
swaying me to my sleep
now the screams of the banshee’s,
will not leave me be.
