The Witnesses Log

 

V

 

The Dreamers travel

to the Other World.

They are sent

to places of darkness

and places of light.

When they come back,

they bring back pieces

of the Other World.

The pieces comfort us

when we are lost.

They speak to us.

One of the pieces

spoke to us

in a language

no one understood.

Someone said

it sounded like blood,

or water.

The Dreamers said

that is what The Listeners

sound like

when they speak:

Like blood, or water.

No one knows how

to speak like that,

the Dreamers said.

No one knows how

to speak

like blood, or water.

No one.
