I Had A Nightmare

(2020)

I had a nightmare on the couch.
It lasted for a thousand years.

The cook was wounded with his grief.
His pistol trampled in the seeds.

Between Sombrero and Zaytoon.
The lonely widow holding dreams.

Around the corner past the steppes.

The dusted billow on the hills.

A captain searching for his cap.

A migrant yearning for her claws.

A hungry woman in the dark.

Beyond the heartache in the rooms.

A scrappy shill igniting screams.

The awful omen of his snarls.

It lasted for a hundred years.
