Kerri Shying R # 512 - along a street I've never seen


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

  2. Me too :) This poem lingers and haunts, way beyond the first reading.
