Blogs: Of Dreams & Nightmares


There's an infinite year,
Where an infinite mind -
Met an infinite friend,
For an infinite time....

There's static in the
Upstairs-windows, and
Leaking walls that
Tell such wondrous tales...

There's horses in the distance -
A Stallion, and a Pinto,
And their ghosts run free
In the South of Wales...

There's two or three, or
Four maybe -
Who know what this
Type of kin entails.

There's streets in cities
That I've never tread, and
It seems as though,
I'm chained to lead...

In this world, we work;
We eat and shit -
We give and take and lose
Our bread...

Our mother's milk,
Our father's name,
We dream for years,
Don't ascertain -

What we've gained,
What we've lost and slain -
It all sits somewhere
Within our veins, and
Is washed away -

Like a believer's sins...
Like empty glasses, after
Shots in twins...

I had a dream where my
Father slept, and
Yet, walked around in a
Black get-up...

His eyes were white,
The brown no-showed;
He made his way to
My abode...

And I said his name, and
He said nothing...
And I screamed his name, and
He said nothing...

He took my art and
Tore it up -
Punched holes through
Paintings,
One-by-one...

I kicked and punched and
Slapped his face,
I cried and begged and
Tried embrace...

Then my clock: six on the dot -
Rang; and
For a second -
I stood at docks...

That I recognized from
A dream I had this summer...
Sat up on a
Sweat-riddled comforter, and
Cried and
Drove to work.
