journal-3, a few stray thoughts



the city fell asleep before

I did. its still raining and 

the continuous drizzle is 

quite enough company for

one. I own nothing right now 

but a few stray thoughts 

tangled in a sleepless mind. 

the boom is thunder or my 

heartbeat.


the dream being dreamt next

door is oblivious to the dream

across the street, and the one

miles away. we play like frigid

ghosts in isolation. but take us

into dreamland and we warm up

multicolored and dancing.


I am a virus tonight, mutating

in a war I have fought many 

times. there's no death solution

for something not alive. feast 

upon the host, the war rages

on. the drumline, the frontline.

march to the beat with worn-out

boots and restless DNA. 


the drizzle is slowing down. the

midnight puddles are settling.

I want to give pieces of myself

away to something in need. the

storm drain takes the water from

the street, but what's nearby to 

take the me from me. the boom

is thunder in the distance now. 

I am calm upon a cold pillow 

and a few stray thoughts still 

tangled.
