In My DreamsA Poem by JREven in my dreams we now socially distance even in my dreams we fear the virus, we edge each other out in the grocery lines give side-eye and sharp elbows even in my dreams I call out and no one answers even in my dreams everything seems dark it is always night, the lights gain their corona even in my dreams I play guitar for no one even in my dreams I start coughing even in my dreams I am always afraid of death and his long, long cloak even in my dreams I have given up on poetry even in my dreams all my love has broken even in my dreams I am alone even in my dreams the virus that yellow b***h has taken everything even in my dreams I cut my beard shave my head and prepare to rise back up into this life of gray nothing. © 2020 JR |
