B–Weird--
In comfort of twilight
caught between
unfolding dreams
and missed opportunities.
Coffee makes
waking worthwhile.
Water and grounds at the ready.
Who will push the button?
Vividly smelling a new day brewing.
* * *
Much to do today
first one more dream
music muddies the scene
dead as driftwood until
shouts and shots
breaking the plane in between
what I missed
and reality
Rewind.
* * *
Responsibilities grow, time shrinks.
Borrowing late night to pay back yesterday
after unwinding the spool
* * *
acid melts the scene
this girl is gone
a high pitched scream
hissing and glowing
waking dead things
waking me
much too late
morning will inspire
* * *
Alarm snoozed
echoes intrude.
Repeated harsh persistence
reminding resistance is
I finally submit
finding fantasy has
assimilated reality.
The collective noise is silenced
making sleep futile.
* * *
Never do today what can be put off until tomorrow.
Or… something like that.
Beginning today doing what
I meant to do yesterday.
* * *
A tale of Mercy Brown brings
Victorian vampire dreams.
Sallow face and shallow frozen
consecrated earth.
Faintly tasting blood
reason has bitten my tongue.
A Celtic cross strangles and burns
I am suddenly aware
of cool satin and course dirt.
Laundering the linens will cleanse unearthed nightmares
* * *
Ringing reaches deep.
A nasally voice speaks,
“You must deposit ten cents to continue.”
There is no coin slot
in which to drop a dime
disconnected and
searching for change
the ringing repeats
* * *
Awakened in late night’s glow
my stalker beams a love note,
“Are you still there?”
A loud buzzer breaks
the deafening silence.
The linens are dry.
* * *
A mattress devoid of clothing causes mixed feelings.
Once made with fresh linens
becomes a shame to mess up.
I shuffle back to the couch
reply to my stalker
yes.
* * *
