memories, 2018
When I was trapped in that dream that I had had before.
An anomalous entity enters the room, bending light around and within it...
stands and the foot of the bed...
stands and the foot of the bed...
Violent pulsing attacks the brain.
Down alleyways small deformed creatures crawl and writhe over one another at its borders...
tiny stones and detritus vibrate, grow long spindly legs and begin to walk around...
on the rooftops and in the sky formless indescribable shapes appear.
My finger tips are shrieking hummingbirds
My finger tips are shrieking hummingbirds
And we are walking on snakes.
