Like a dream dreamed by four
legged creatures lying on the acid
pink frost of the grass, staring at the sun
burst sky. Like a dream dreamed by a goat
headed man, one horn broken, ash pink
worms blazoning the other, dancing
on the ice, with twelve other goat heads
behind, bleating a song of lust. Like a dream
dreamed by a winged being, naked under her plum
coloured plumes, half asleep, tied to a last tree.
Like a dream dreamed by the tree foaming
fuchsia flowers with the teeth of snakes hiding
inside their innocent petals. Like a dream dreamed
by the wind whining under scar pink clouds,
plucking the flowers, whirling them on a field
of rust, poison pink rain, sudden, merging
into the fire circling the woman. Like a dream
dreamed by thirteen half-men, fallen down like
fallen glaciers, half alive with flesh pink mouths
screaming out in pain. Like a dream dreamed
by feathers, carrying a thing up into the real
ity of the evening, free from the dreams of pink.
Like a dream everything and every being was cut
and dried. It was like a dream a dream dreamed.
