dream caused by the fate of a plate spinning above a selection of stale pistachio baklava with a wasp buzzing around that i told sigmund freud about during our second session

just look at this zeppelin in the sky
it bears the burden of all my dreams
of clouds made from berries and cream
and coffins of cherries jubilee

it wobbles like a huge cosmic jelly
its five points thrumming with juicy flair
sugar patina wickers soft underbelly
its eyes cry diamond daggers for miles

thick nipples drip mint liquor and ganache
its genitals puffed up like salted pastry
the masterpiece of a mad confectioner
until someone pops it like yesterday’s gum!

somnus (rem)

eyes taped to the sky
spin around a world of rue
the silence that hems

somnus (sws)

gaslit & ghosted
then left to grey abandon
why were you not told

somnus (nrem)

translucent in dreams
the tree of lungs inside you
breathes true outside you

lacuna bridge

let us remember
tie our navels end to end
umbilical dreams
