Untitled

I dream of strangers dying

screamers
writhe and undulate
in ceaseless
soundless
warnings

In the morning
I pass the scene of a crash

blue lights pattern the trees
in wavering sombre colours

Officers murmur in huddles

one bending to gather up broken plastic
reflectors

another crushes a cigarette beneath
his heel
grinding and smearing it into the
road


The shattered hulks of
a v8 ford and a holden

one embracing a pole

metal and flesh
wrapped
in tangled
surrealist splashes

the other
forlorn
pressed up against
a eucalyptus

and tonight

i will sleep dreamless

do you have dreams that come true? I do too! Not often, but every now and then. Mostly seems to be about bad things rather than good unfortunately.

You've portrayed the phenomena well here.

Sometimes...yes, I dream events, not always bad, mostly not momentous,can be simple every day things mainly.

Weird huh?
