The Body Poem Project: Dreaming

Dreaming 

Barking in her sleep, 
The holiday over,
Monday rises again,
I may not fail. 

Empty Spaces. 

I fall behind,
The scab itches terribly,
Scratch it again,
A bug bite, from days ago. 

Still here. Now. 

Everyone’s irritated over nothing,
It will be OK, the man says,
Dismissively to the woman, 
Holding the protest sign. 

“Why then, am I here?” 

Forty-eight years of age on a Saturday, 
Reading sci fi stories and dog training, 
Both attempts to communicate,
But we’re no longer doing it. 

Waking.
