Half life

|
We walk through half our life
as if it were a fever dream barely touching the ground our eyes half open our heart half closed. Not half knowing who we are we watch the ghost of us drift from room to room through friends and lovers never quite as real as advertised. Not saying half we mean or meaning half we say we dream ourselves from birth to birth seeking some true self. Until the fever breaks and the heart can not abide a moment longer as the rest of us awakens, summoned from the dream, not half caring for anything but love.
