O’ I had bad dreams.

Posted on December 15, 2021 by Lucy

O I had bad dreams; I was wooded into the sand,
lady, I am dead from you all

 I can’t speak, yet shadows 
made room for our mouths, bleeding by cobra heads,
foetus grief, despair—I disappoint.
I am dead from you all.

This was a snippet that I thought could stand alone good enough as a poem. Hope you could enjoy.

  Hahaha, thank you David! I have to remind myself to not be so intense in real life and I see it reflects in my writing. 😀

What a beautiful poem Lucy! What pathos! Such intense imagery! And the repetition of the line, ‘I am dead from you all’ is lyrically so powerful!
