The Desperate and Dreamless.

By Lunabella Mrozik Gawler
I dream in jet black.
In squid ink,
shot from mouths of babes,
forty thousand leagues
beneath the lowest level of Hades.
I dream in shades of heavy
Thursday afternoon rain,
In the loneliest shards
of lightning bolts
stirred to flight.
By desperate dreams
of back corner cubicles at 5 pm.
I dream
in heavy breast dignity,
in barefoot, desert, sunrise horizons.
In midnight full moon
crow wing hurricanes.
I dream
in homeless footprints
on edges of puddles
long forgotten by sky.
In stone cold 1:35 am desperation
wrapped in yesterday’s newspaper
to soak up the stains.
I dream in echoless beasts
sliding swift under cracks
Of last week’s alibi,
in under tongue sorrows,
of whores sold silent
to cold slab concrete,
of cities yet born.
I dream in fractured memories
hung out to dry on strings of lies.
In origami promises set to sail
across uncharted lives.
I dream in the glint
of a madman’s eye,
served fresh to the gulls
on the pier.
I dream in chaos. In infamy.
In restlessness and relentless
crests that best one another,
to shame the game
that bore them.
I dream in endless night.
I dream in jet black.
I dream,
I dream.
