Notes About The Poem

This happened at 2:30 in the morning!!!!

Blunt Consciousness

BLUNT CONSCIOUSNESS 

Fast asleep
Blunt consciousness
“What the hell was that?”

The colorful lady passed out
face down
framed
her wire cut

The wall with laceration
a larceny     to my sleep

The dead of night
this cold Spring
my husband in Spain

I prop up the painting
that stares at me
the rest of the night
as the sun clicks its nails
upon the ghostly night

Daylight always smiles
upon scary things
somehow making things right
and my honey will be back
in my bed tonight
