i know it's there
we both do

the giant sword
hanging from
the grey ceiling

i can't breath
i'm afraid it
will fall

severing my head
from my neck
my heart
from my body

brain
2.9.2009

i had a dream
where someone
smashed open
my skull
on a bright sunny
day and scooped
out my brain

they cradled it
gently
the blue black
concussed pile
of grey matter
speckled with blood
like jello gone bad

and carried it around
petting it, talking
to it
putting it on it's
favorite horse on
the carousel

and just left my body
dead and pale
blood on my white linen
in my cafe chair
