There's a veil

between today and tomorrow

betwen then and now

It shivers when you touch it

when tears drop on oak coffins

and when grey dust shatters into the wind

You can see it

when a baby cries it's first breath

and when eyes slide closed for the last time

We look from between these worlds

some of us stuck

neither here nor there

The dreamers

the ones who walk faster when it's dark

we can feel it like a tongue down our spine

When they breathe into us

things happen

good and bad and unexplained

The cat who fell eight stories and lived

the girl who left her clothes on the beach and nothing else

the ivy taking back abandoned homes

There is a boy

who took too many little white pills and barely came back

he won't tell you where he was going

But we know

we can feel it when they come

we know their intentions

We know what happens next.
