Grow a dream and I'll finagle it
from out your ear,
and give you a subtle smirk.
Grow a dream
and the years of planting
from my eyes will coax petals
to bloom from your smile.
Grow a dream weakly
and my fingers will drown it:
my digits fluttering as soft rain
where the dawn is fleshy
and brilliant.
Grow this dream for me,
strongly,
and for fortune's sake,
your dream-vines will twist
and choke my own
until we wake.
