Rapid Eye Groovement
Rapid eye groovement
dreaming of home
glass coffee pot on
the ring on the stove
Mourning dove nest
for the momma to fill
nestled in the crook
of the kitchen windowsill
Canasta deck withering
wax on stiff plastic
settled into sediment
shuffled elastic
Southern sweet tea
in the rushing bloodstream
My lips are chapped dry
where I sleep as I breathe
Rapid eye groovement
dreaming of home
Morning takes me over
with my heart overblown
Bank account sapped
on the first a.m. flight
Dreamer’s delirium
I’ll see you tonight.
