Darlene from Heirloom by Ruby Luna

Darlene,
you never knew your dreams
said "i was so surprised when i learned they could tell me about me"

Darlene,
you never knew your dreams
said "i was shellshocked when i learned they were about me"

"who ever knew you needed something like that?
i never knew i needed something like that"

like the time your sister chased you with the baby
or when you grew six heads
or when your lover called you his sister
or when you spoke to your dead mother
...on a hill, on a mountainside...

what does it mean Darlene, what does it mean?
to be me in the night, out of sight from your eyes

Darlene,
you never knew your dreams

Like the time we feasted on the beast
Or when we shook with all our might
...with hands shaking, a furrowed brow...
Or when we walked on the raging waters
Or when your step took you a bit too far
...too far...

What does it mean Darlene, what does it mean?
to be me in the night, out of sight from your eyes

Down the rabbit hole, Darlene
Down the rabbit hole, Darlene
