I DREAM ABOUT DEATH SOMETIMES
I dream about death sometimes
I see the reaper dancing in sunflower fields
with rainbows above his head
Once, he plucked a flower with his scythe
and danced in pseudo victory--
my alarm smacked us into reality
Sometimes my nightmares draw me
into sleep, painting
sad pictures in my mind,
I wear my canvas. I run myself in
phobophobia
so I die before I live
sometimes
I see the reaper dancing in sunflower fields
with rainbows above his head
Once, he plucked a flower with his scythe
and danced in pseudo victory--
my alarm smacked us into reality
Sometimes my nightmares draw me
into sleep, painting
sad pictures in my mind,
I wear my canvas. I run myself in
phobophobia
so I die before I live
sometimes
