Dreams by Nalini Priyadarshni

I pull your dreams out of my hair
As I wake up each morning

When I hug my knees
I find them still clinging to my fingers

With no more tears to wash my hands
I suck on my finger tips

Once inside my mouth I twirl my tongue
Around their soft bodies

Tasting them before I swallow
Making them mine forever

Who did these dreams belong to….
