Shark Dreams


I dream of sharks
they swim with me
I swim with them
neither of us
because we want to

Their skin
like sandpaper teeth
sloughs off my useless skin
and leaves me clean
at peace
in an ocean of sleep

Their teeth
five rows of nightmares
bleed out my fears
in a stormy sea of sleep

Because we want to
both of us
with them I swim
with me they swim
sharks dreaming of me
