The Point of Know Return

Dream Hands.

Wake up, dead fool!
your dinner arrived
yesterday
with a smile
and tip of the hat
and adieu

Wake up, dead fool!
you’ve slept through the war
avoided these hoarded bullets
grotesque abominations
of love and
nothing

Wake up, dead fool!
you’ve fallen for false dreams
they’ve been moaning
on your doorstep
and
she’s been running . . .

Wake up, dead fool!
you’ve been torn
by the Dream Hands
of an angelic
beast.

Wake up, dead fool!
these shackles are worn
but still compress these
swollen extensions
of loves at arms’ length

Wake up, dead fool!
you’ve lost yourself in
this mirage of Monet
murals and mosaics
of colorful perceptions,
prerequisites of dark
masturbation—such an
abomination

Wake up, dead fool!
you’ve been stepped on
trampled by shooting stars
jogging dreams
dancing bears
what a freedom
to pick lights from the sky
behold in one dead hand
a lost dream
fate’s SHOUTING excrement
of such an abomination

Wake up, dead fool!
you’re been seeing the sun
but it’s only the moon on fire.
you must be confused, child
really? two?

Wake up, dead fool!
remember guitars?
its been years
she killed you.
that one left you.
this one deceived you.
she killed you.
its been years.
wake up . . .

"The story of life is quicker than the wink of an eye. The story of love is Hello and Goodbye. Until we meet again..." -Jimi Hendrix

A powerful write.
Did you slip this one
under his pillow?

Excellent writing!
