Poem
between new nightmares
and day dreams
of a better life
lay reality resurfaced
tight with taut brutality
unspeakable thoughts drift
down through time's flash
triggered not there
not then
but now and here
her mind digs through fear

as she sinks 
slight form down
crisp skirt's rustle sound
folds with her
to ground
and she says to herself
 I will lay here
in this hollow
it fits the curve of my spine
holds the shape
of my hips
and the grass padded earth
cups itself a little
around my waist
hugs me
till I sleep

I am still alive
I am dead
to the world

tar roads
pavements
are too hard
concrete
cannot hold me
the same way
they resist my shape
press flatness 
hard
against me
leave me sore
unrested
complaints unheard

where may I sleep
With fragrance
of grass and earth
maybe
in a garden
a cultured space
thoughts arouse
aroma once known
from those past
yet still present
places
so pleasant

maybe then
I will fall into dreams
of painless light
sunshine will soothe
I will feel bright

flame red flowers
in free fall
Will not burn
as they engulf me
float from arms
branches
blue sky stretched
they will caress me
in potpourri perfume

memories mock
her senses
she yearns to block
their burn

when I sleep
I'll not smell
petrol fumes
flared up
I will not hear
the shudder of bodies
breaking down the door
I will forget
the screams
eardrums pierced
my own
I will not feel 
my body burn
in hell hound fire
twisted hatred
from ordinary mothers
fathers sisters sons
bizarre beliefs
turned my skin
from brown silk smooth
to outlandish patches
pink and brown

how will I
become 
familiar
with who I am
now

she falls asleep
dreams 
of sunshine
tree shadow dappled
nature cradles her
in dark and light
she breathes low

drum sounds
bring her back
there
next to eyes
awakening
her fingers
delicate drummers
play the earth
With firm tips
tap tapping
a well known song
her long gone 
mother's lullaby

hush my child
hush now
don't cry
sleep sweet
against my heart
hush now
hear the beats
of my love 
for you
hush now
so angels 
do not sigh

hum drum
hum drum
hum drum

she starts to cry
