the lake

frozen lakes for eyes
you hover beside me
i climb out of sleep
i cannot move

an inch molds into a hurricane
my limbs are stiff
and you talk
in a strange voice

as if i were in your room sleeping
but the chords of your dimension
were broken so you ask
for my companion

i remember your friend
i tried to scream
he didn't let me out but you
are suddenly swallowed by the lake
