Runner Bean

Haunted City ~ Michael Sowa

In a dream of Sunday
Warm on freckled shoulders
The boy that I once was
Runs like only
He can run in dreams
Weightless in the onshore breeze
That tastes of salted spit
And highway diesel
And leaves him on the homeward path
Away from all that reason
His thoughts are a ploughed field
Seeded with tomorrows mistakes

nice, and also a little depressing

Harlequin said...

the poem and the visual have that strange connection .... absolutely elusive and present ... simultaneously. amazing how you do this.

Garth said...

Harlequin: I guess the connect has been handed to us by the surrealists and their obsession with dreams ;]
