1321

grass greener

or

beware of what you wish for

woke from darkest depths

chased sun

soon in summer

sought fountain, shade

in somebody’s body

I dreamt of another

city stuck high in a windowless tower

I hoped for the great outdoors  

in a thicket

I craved the vast

war was declared

we fought for peace

I needed more time

and how the hours dragged

jumped out of the skin

I was comfortable in

I needed a little surprise

would it be pepsi?

would it be coke?

I wanted a choice

was overwhelmed

please will you decide

falling

I hoped some angel would catch

mock piety gave me away

tried to be serious

fell about laughing

in a steam room

I thought of the desert

in the desert I prayed for a flood

thought of the sea

washed off from a raft

saw high up the branches

I needed a tune

and the noise drove me mad

wanted winter

soon I was bitten with frost

fire took down the house

that set me to wander

all over the place

hankered to be home again

from my armchair

ordered a ticket

itching to

and ointment over

I wanted to get my hands dirty

I had to wash them clean

wanted to stop the world to get off

it was all in my mind

the cow pose

the cat

how to decide?

dreamt of waking

and I longed for sleep

I wished upon a star

it went off in my face

I chased a bug around a tree

they said to say it fast

I was a silence in the trap of light

so much there was to say

beast I was

would reason

and far and far

hearts near to me

yearned to be a little bird

was how I flew away
