My Trance

My Trance

A Poem by Austin Hennings

Fall asleep you can always dream
Silk flow of a country melody
From the lips of a beggar
For a chance to be able to breathe
Air thick as taste
Chest as heavy as my eyelids
To a stage
Dust, paint and light blind my elation
Frowns can't build houses
Radiant obligatory white fears the day
While I can't walk the line I drew
Today to find my medicine under the moss and berries
Lust to be
Me
My trance
Let me sing when I'm awake to be eaten face first by faith in pride
When my spine shivers and crawls away swiftly
Dreams still stand tonight's daze
