Dream Borders
Another grief on top of grief,
we return from abroad,
and it was never there, a thief
reveals
this existence a fraud.
In the sky are twinkles
in darkest space,
clouds that look like algae blooms,
or it could be only dust, a flume
of opacity.
What is life but belief?
Without certainty of God,
life and death but two countries,
the boundary our breath.
