knit the mosquitoes together
beneath your pajamas
let a stranger suck on your foot
reach inside of yourself
and pull out a candle
clutch the giant shrimp tighter

run down the staircase
inside a violet
eat through both doors
empty the hammock of its blood
uncork the head of a doll
and choke the rose inside of it

when you get to the glacial lake
wrap yourself up in gauze
and then swallow your hands

the reverse sometimes works
for waking
