I made a wish on a star at 11:11pm
And went to bed
with wedding cake beneath my pillow.
Then I became a shadow
pressed flush against the walls
Wendy put soap on my heels
Slipped thread through my toes, black it was
stuck me to a red haired boy
and dragged me past the second star on the right.
Much later I hid under hooks pasty body
curved steel slicing into folds of dark
Cutting, oh God, I thought light would burst
Panting on the floor, crying crocodile tears
breaths in time to the beating of his clock
Then he shoved me in a bottle
left me to scream, and scream, and scream
Headbutting glass walls,
until my words revolved around blues and pinks.
When the bottle opened
I fell up, up, up into stars,
Shards of boiling hot rock
flecked onto black skypaper
I danced with the moon herself
She gave me her paparyus paper card
Her name: Lumielle
I sank into her cratered lips
Slid my tongue into bumps and dips
Pressed hard with fingertips.
But what was I to the moon?
A puppet with dancing toes.
Then I opened my eyes...
It was a dream and I had cake in my hair.

Well I guess it would seem that perhaps we're both on a roll as of late, because I really enjoyed this piece! That must've been one hell of a wish you made, however given the fact that you double reinforced it may have put on some kind of reverie-ric steroids, hahaha. A very great job, I would like to be able to write something of such fantasy
One little thing, I think you should look back at this and pick out any little spelling/grammar error(s); you have the word "throught" on the seventh line. I know, I know! It's a word I'm pretty sure we'd all LOVE to use, due to its simple flow you get whizzing away on the keyboard, but I don't think it's the one you're looking for
Wonderful job, again!
