When You Fall Asleep

if you wake up now
you will never be able
to fall asleep again

because the dreams will hunt you
along bloodrivers and shameful waves

I cut your heart in two

open wide

one for mommy
one for daddy

for the blood that remains
and the blood that never were

the coagulated

the navel-string suffocates
crawls in close, breathing

walk the line, the string

balancing between the living
and the dream

the hidden

if you fall asleep now
you will never
wake up again
