Sleeptalking from Make Time by endolphins

forget about the sleeping tea
I was across the world
remember to wake up for work
and pick up discarded terms

coffee grumbles in the kitchen, heavy stone in a small creek
retell the same old anecdotes that we did last week

Feel my brain grow new legs,
a lake yawns into a cloud
ink begins to drag in heat,
say the quiet parts out loud

Find the secret tape inside a warehouse or a daydream
say the exact words but they don’t mean what i mean

The fallacies of language
Symbols amount to lies
Expel treacherous images
From behind my mind’s eye

Soon the gloomy tomb is doomed
And blooms with blue light from the moon

A flutter by the power lines
rest in thermal rising air
pavement melts my shoes while walking
How and when do we get there?

houseplant moody wavelength, sound of traffic hums and whines
Plant a child in the garden, pluck their hours from a vine

stretch legs quartz grow turquoise
Static spilled during the movie
Familiar tones and prickly stones
replays tv sleep on a moonbeam

Parabolas of shocks and traps cymbal pressure, wicker chair
murmur of birds tangled in a film of invisible air

The fallacies of language
Symbols amount to lies
Expel treacherous images
From behind my mind’s eye

brew an alchemical potion
to cure the signified
a draught to manifest a notion
into something that sings and flies

Words are merged with blurs inferred
and stirred until the birds emerge
