9-1-15A Poem by T. R. Ash
I've been dreaming about you, dear
The same pictures, the same lines
Over and over
And over again
I dreamt that you lined up all of our friends
Looked into their hearts
Breathed deeply
And then shot them each through the chest with a lead laced goodbye
Anyone could imagine how painful the foreign metal felt
As it leaked into their veins
The proof layed in the liquid
Erupting from their eye lids
I dreamt you scooped up the world we share into the palms of your hands
You looked all around it, sincerely studying all we have ever known
As if looking for a better reason to stay
Than the one you have to go
Instantly you sliced it in half
Like a warm stick of butter
I felt the ground erupt beneath my body
We all did
And as my feet began to slide into the crack of our hurt earth
You caught my fall with your lips on mine
And Just as I thought you had froze the end
It only happened more quickly
Then my eyes were open
Wet, but looking at our world
Still in tact
Our friends lead free
But days very numbered
