[ WP ] `` It seems like everyone is sleepwalking through their awakened state and wakewalking through their dreams . ''

She is drowning and this is a nightmare from which I can not wake. 
 
 
 Her lips turn blue. She reaches out to me as though through a fog of green. I turn away from her milk-blind eyes. I can not wake. I can not wake. 
 
 I dream of cool forests and pine needles crunching beneath my feet. Behind me in the sea green lake she is drowning and I can not wake. I can not wake. 
 
 
 The pillow is wet and she lies beside me, hair curling out like fronds of pondweed. The room is green in the dark cool of dawn. She is wet to the touch and her lips are blue and her eyes are white open. I am awake. I am awake. I am awake and she is drowned.
