Thursday was empty & Friday was soaked in bleach


In the dream someone told me that my sister

had died & I wept & later

in a swirl of people in a room that was like a garden

I spoke to a woman who held a bottle containing a bright

sapphire colored liquid



In another dream

I am writing a poem

but in a new 21st century slow motion style I only just

discovered the building of poems in a manner similar to the final shootout in The Wild

Bunch or Keanu Reeves dodging bullets in The Matrix only in the poetic version you don't

dodge them incoming bullets but move in order to catch each one in the heart

& so very little time to rip the heads off of roses or taste the sewage

effluent spilling into the sea


the beach wasn’t legal there the

expectation was that the waves would

find some other place to break
