slept without   the screen last night
the 
silence of the  highway  
dormant   after midnight   seeped
in cold  below  the
window   dreams
of flipping  burgers  walking
tall  dogs
  along a street I’ve never seen
conversation  with the dead 
and 
Mum   popping in   to serve the 
tea 
 so tiring  that I slept  way past
sunrise   definite 
tonight    serial 
killers     sing
my lullaby
 
you knock me down Kerri, in all the best ways
ReplyDeleteMe too :) This poem lingers and haunts, way beyond the first reading.
