Dreams
it is late
for some of us, it is 10, others, it is 4 A.M? P.M? what is the difference
sometimes, we dream of the dark,
why
beacause that is what we long for
because that deep dark seductions that sucks us
in and in
deeper and deeper
it is dark
short it
is
indeed
eyes close
pinch like a needle
and then, it is over
a burst of ecstasy of relief of comfort
all you hear is the alarm, beeping in your head
but all you think is
the dark
the warmth
i
i
i
i want it all, again
again
You climb down under the blankets one more time, but the alarm continues
doesnt stop
beep
beep
beep
but no
the dream is worth it
just one more minute
just to finish
the dream
of perfection
of darkness
of velvety smooth chocolate topped with creamy vanilla
but HOT!
and microwaved
and dry like carboard
your bed has lost its appeal
no longer glowing with youth
and freshness
it is old
and used
we wait
until the next night
like a drunkard, we stagger home
waiting
waiting
waiting
no. not waiting
falling
falling
falling
believing that we are falling onto a fresh bed
knowing that we fall onto it fresh and come out of it
wrinkled
every night
every day
A.M? P.M?
What is the difference
afterall,
we all still long for
the dark
