Cruelly Subconscious

I've been functioning Alive:
Sick in the months survived
without thought to you breathed.

Normal again, lapsing the pain;
like dripping tar, it never can fade.
I still wrought rise:
Thinking the wise.

until cliff dream had me falling
like soaked birds scraping the ground.
Wet feathers dragging my sky down
in sore pointless escalade;

a rebelliously poor and soggy mesh!
Also with full imagery in series,
visiting vacantly in broken story:
An anvil-crushed heart of glory,

cliff dream reminds the way you look;
sometimes feel in the gobbling cold.
Though you're not alone there freezing,
and I cripple with no sense of  belonging.

I've been fucking A-L-I-V-E!
Free from the earthly bind.
Until bad weather brought
cliff dream and I woke mid-dream,
wet on the brisk of mourning.
