THE FIRE & THE FLOODS

world is burning  

world is flooding 

this fails to balance out

at 

least

the great lazy pandas

fucked themselves out of immediate danger

at  fucking  last

DREAM WRONG

my eyes fall
and
its
on
the half-nod when i know the room is there
that from
a
hurtling burst of memories 
a
dream is quickly there

and
i know i am
still 
awake

-

the cats a pig
pink
and giggling
and
i
smuggle him about under my dressing gown
asking him
what
the hell
is
going
on

or

i'm on a sortie in a city 
full with apocalypse floods
following a witch
past
submerged marker flags
i
planted
on
the
way in

-

the dreams merge tightly with the unreality
of
a
unslept 
bed
and i become afraid to close my eyes

and no surprise
the dream catcher has fallen off the wall

too
full

to
help
me

anymore
