Escape

She lies among them
Her curves lines of delicate torture
Her body worn delicious in exhaustion
Wrapped in the memory of the dream

Four hearts
Beating as one
Their uniform rhythm
Picking up the pieces
And determining their importance

We are all china barely mended
Just clumsily glued together
Waiting for the hot water and steam
To seep through our cracks

As they lie
They dream
Of escape, of freedom
Of leaving this city
We all dream

We dream of journeying on spaceships
To other universes
Other worlds
But really, for the forever
We're stuck on these streets

The only time we will travel anywhere truly unknowable
Is when we slip into the skin of another
Journeying into their mysteries
Always hoping
For a safe landing
