Karissa Satchwell Dreamdaying

i spotted a mermaid in the garden
but it was only you
wading through the dirt too dry
leaves covering your hair hands thigh

its those castle clouds in dreams
that make me make believe almost everything
but im beginning to think that you cant take
it anymore

for you call too quietly now
the phone rings on silently now
as im sprawled in the grass where you just were
wondering how long i can go on without anyone
realizing ive gone
too far
