Terrible darkness.

Dream of cat and dog
Mike Adam Feb 2022
Cat sat
On ledge,
How clever.

Dog eyed,
Laying on floor.

How they regard
One,
The other,

With cautious,
Sharing,

Love.


Domestic,

Blissful,

Unaware,

Human­s dote,

Eat biscuits.

Hallucinate
Mike Adam May 2020
Donkey named Ginny.

Five years and sick,
Convalescent friend.

Wagon wheel spreads
Chocolate around the mouth.

Today round clock
Melts,
Giraffe open drawers in neck.

No longer five
But sixty plus

And bewildering motion,
Time and dizzy change,

Endless assault,
Uni-linear movement.

Ever longing to stroke
Her shaggy muzzle.

Drooping form of
Lovely yellows

We know you die
And rot.

And reform-

Your sweetened corms

Re-arrange and
Flourish

How long

How long to
Delight the eye

Deform and redirect
Life force

From basalt
Salt

To opened skies?

My love grows
With your opening
And dies
In time

And dies
Together

And alone
In time

Broken arrow

Fire the arrow
To burial.

Pull bowstring taut

And release.

Broken arrow,
Going nowhere.

O where to die?

Right here?

O how to die well
Right here.

Useless archer
Failed to live
Failed to die-

Broken arrow
Failed to fly-

Stasis
Of solid state?
