Reincarnation Haunts

i believe that

these nighttime hallucinations

are

the memories of a lifetime

once lived.

there is proof.

there are seas of faces

which are known to me,

endeared to me,

loved by me

in this strange, strange

world

that i do

not

recognize(or remember)

upon waking,

yet i am not alarmed

at their existences.

there are places i have never seen

that may have never been

that may never be,

yet i call them home.

fragments of lives

i've long forgotten

or lives that have

yet to pass,

coming alive

and dancing

breathing

being

while

i am

asleep.
