Dead man's dream

On opening my eyes
The world dark as my soul
Nothing moves, nothing flows
A dream of a dead man

The moss of thoughts fill my mouth
Lichen grows on my bones
Vertebrae detach
Teeth lost in the grit

The night has swallowed my name
Taken my time, taken my place
The dusk has covered my trace
The rain has washed my memories away

I have disappeared
I am no more
Turned into voice of storm
The roaring song of space
Behold the waves
They roll over themselves
Behold the waves
There lies the lap of time
