sleeping for dreams

[pogochick]

i wake at 9 to miss my interview
with a girl i dont know sitting in my living room
you sleep so long your dreams get rusty
your eyes long closed, your hair is dusty

i wake you up
like the sun does
licking the morning,
but you still sleep.
hot tea in a cup
gets cold because
you still sleep.

my eyes cant be more wide
and id like to think that means
that i am not blind
but it really means
i can not rattle up any dreams
