Never SleepA Poem by Allen MastersonA faint sound as skin capitulates to steel
An amber injection to virgin vein A reaching breath to catch a train While dream time men hurl boomerangs At dead inventions conjured to quell our brains In a dirty room of silence I dilate my eyes And draw the blinds.... A dried up river of liberation Is no hope for a burning bush I'm perched up on a toilet lid with Huxley Revisiting Brave New World And orange kush While a climbing Krishna With a home made hookah Brings two worlds into one Divorcing reality and surfing The waves of an exploding sun Isis in the sky has spoken An ancient smile as our spell is broken She whispers, "Never sleep" © 2011 Allen Masterson |
