My elusive dreams

Stay funky*
Even in the hours of dream
I am staid,
proper, afraid of what
is outside of my zone of solitude.
I wish I was edgy but manage
just a snitch of snark.

Earth to Asgard**

If the gods are crazy what does that make humans that became sheep to follow blindly becoming humans that leap
or maybe not leap into the category of lunacy?

Don’t play with shadows***
Come in it’s dark.
I’m tired I flirt with the night
in my pretend goth stage
but
my body lies
my cicadia rhythm
that’s inside me
leaving before the twilight ends
and the shadows of deep night
overwhelms the space of my safety.

Nocturne****
Soon my night move is a nocturne lullaby
suited just for me
and a soft dip into pages
before slumber
