When Sleep Dreams

When sleep dreams,
Sweethearts caress
Their lovers'
Carcass, cursing
Their waves’ crest, 
Waning to wax.

Complaints axe
Compliments,
Cutting remarks,
Dividing
Doubled-you
In two:
Exes.

These axises
Uncross their sticks
Of love for war;

Two bend as bows,
Slinging arrows,
Sinking their arks.
