Recent Dreams

by dan ankers

Recently the things which used to seem absurd

are parting grey matter of my brain;

causing me pain

It’s not fun

and

It’s not great at all

It’s making me

want to smash my head

into a wall

but if I did

they would only escape

my brain cavity

and I would lose

those

grey matter

gremlins

and

I would be left

holding up an empty bottle of vodka

in my hand

my fingers trembling

anxiety; unending

walk into the street

where I would meet

the steel

This shit is real

Life is important

and

Good things must grow

from the foulness

of my losses

I can only plant some roses

in the garden of my

old life

Negative experiences become a

compost pile

which nourishes the future,

which makes me

Smile
