Blake’s Angels Walk the Street


who am i
i am you and 
you are what is
allowed by 
my mind and yours 
the strands of our 
past knot a future
in patterns like frost

how can i separate
vision and dream
waking dulls thoughts
slows transition
clogs the mind
with corporeal matters
solidifies the world
in which we live

as i walk the street 
i see angels 
dancing in faces
twisted like thread
in thoughts
like tangled nets
in our dreams
which in turn 
dance my life 
in turn again
