    Be carefulDuring the day,As you go aboutYour daily routine,Conversing with friends, family, loved ones.Be careful what you say,Who you talk about.Because the people in your dreamsCan hear you talkingWhile you’re awake.

    You are near me,I can hear the rustlingOf the rags you wear,Of the dirty coatMade of dusk,That brushes your feetAs you walk,I can smell the foulnessThe rank atmosphere,That follows you far and wide.I can see you,Covered in the blacknessOf a wronged soul,Painted with filth and ashes and soot.You sit beside meWhispering in my ear,Fluttering syllables…
