And Another Thing Broken
Iguanas are dreaming
they’re alligators, and
night is broken
by dreams,
the moon’s prowling
around street corners,
sniffing like a dog
at protesting stars,
and nobody’s sleeping –
we’re all broken
by dreams.

fabulous! I love “the moon’s prowling
around street corners,
sniffing like a dog
at protesting stars,” And I love the concept of being broken by dreams.

I had an iguana once. Delicious. I’ve had gator, too, down in The Big Easy (on New Year’s Eve, no less!). Yumilicious, just like your poetry, Misky. Thanks.

I think most dreams are just one’s subconscious relating stuff we’ve seen but haven’t ‘registered’. Odd though when some seem similar. But then too often the same news stories repeat themselves – even years apart – same themes.
