KA Rees #24 - The chord that pulls


The chord that pulls

Who are we
when we sleep?
Are we cities of concrete,
neon lights and smoky bars, are
we lines of a song, or stray voices echoing
a note on the midnight breeze. Are we fairy tales
told to us
as children long ago.
Are we rocks and fire trails.
Are we missionaries, or mortars. Are
we boat builders or aviators, are we our work,
words on a page, the dinner we ate or the TV we
watched. Are we the book we read before we turned
out the light, the words whispered when we drifted
off to sleep. Are we oceans, or streams, or rivers
of fish. Are we avatars. Other worlds? Are
we bruises from the void.
