dream patterned (Free verse) by the indign
dream patterned with greens and fogs:
a danky drape covering and hiding the eyes
swirling, dancing, perpetual moving -
sun flare chop and scorch burn the withered sundrop crop
the flicker and glare of an impossible arrangement of sensual and glee.
a backwards sense of falling up yet never reaching ground
flying through the clouds - feet first
then grasp behind and turn around the spiral -
the crimson string flying softly not so quiet away.
bleeding inside from the without.
seventeen going on twelve, a new balloon speaks quietly,
returning to a secret kept so perfectly
so radiant; it bursts.
green and purple hues and haze that shade the cold,
keep the wolves and calls for spirit
left deep and far away.
a whisper only echoes in the silence freed.
going on forever more to be seen glib, not skewed.
tire swing with broken wing, radio in tune -
foster green, may be seen indefinite,
while a nothing hiding nothing seeking everything sneeks up to claim his
prize.
burning sense of sensational hedgegrowth;
bottled empty can been hollowed out.
build, create, unbuild, go blind -
a fire flyer glowing too bright for eyes to see -
a petticoat left under the dresser slides around so glamorously.
a book that closed itself to me has grown quite so full.
pry open pages to discover a picture worth no more than words -
not one.
then pile it within the sourness that humidifies our skin.
dreams left uncontrolled, unchanged,
patterns of the mind.
a green mist fogging up my glasses as i breathe the days last sigh.
