last night's dreams,
which too often follow rather disturbing peak experience themes

Because,

they take and take
bloody all, what they want

are torched, murdered, 
next to them, 
the sweet dreams of lives...

My early 20s Eldest Black Lives Matter Son
wears his disabling ADHD label uncomfortably,
impatiently,
like a possibly self-redeeming crown
but with unfortunate MessiahComplex thorns
as the Great WhiteMan's sacrificial lamb.

His First, and hopefully last, Girl
is an ADHD Latina,
with sparkling...

In the heart where your naivety resides
you wonder what haunts the sun

"Heart"  

Deep fissures formed

veined blues

protean bit by bit
the flesh disappears
prematurely 6ft under
mulch for rebirth
the subcontinent
conscientious conscience 
inward reaching

the divine central tableau...
