A DINOSAUR EATING THE NIGHT
Death had frozen
his mind
and all his musings become icicles
stalactites and stalagmites of thought.
He snapped a thought off
an even number of stalactites and stalagmites .
Then he placed them one by
one in his jaws
like row upon row of
dinosaur teeth.
"Roar!' he roared
roaring himself out of this
"whatever it is!"
"Roar!" he roared again
eating the night
and all it brought
with his new stalactitestalagmite
dinosaur teeth.
When the night was all
eaten he
lay back and
fell asleep
inside the dream's
dream.
"Brother!" he said
and his dead brother
comforted him as if
he was not dead.
"Brother!" he cried
but the world had
reappeared
ready for the new day
that was spread before it.
