erronious
withered black eyes
brainless smiles
playing cards
with
faraway songs
light rain
going past my room
notions under my bed
telling "me" i wasn't welcome?
symbolic figures
stampeding horses
wanting better words
jumping
falling
falling
from the seventy foot floor

the next morning
egyptian mummy
something on fire
graves weeping
mist in the morning
two candles burning
etched warnings
in a green forest window
eternal sound on wood
bearskin comes alive
no cell phone
dreams of afternoons
at the beach
runaway dumbwaiters
infinate surrender
voices rise from beneath
tracing life
third world perspectives
dominating monsters
black ravins
men with no ears mouth or feet


I was wrong to drink that much

My word, girl! I'd forgo the spirits if a night like that was to follow any libations! lol

May your dreams be lullaby sweet this night!

Even in your sleep you have a better imagination than most people! ~ At least I hope those images were from your fertile imagination!*!*!

quite a 'write'!...

And I thought my (daily) 'nightmares' [courtesy of
(witnessed) fatal airplane and automobile crashes;
'jungle' warfare; street crime; etc.] were nasty?!

so very good, so very good. " spirit helps make good poems". indeed, what did you drink that night?

a funny ending but very beautiful at words choosing. wonderful imaginations.

I love those verses
"playing cards
with
faraway songs
light rain
going past my room
notions under my bed
telling "me" i wasn't welcome?"...simply beautiful.
