For I Do Not Have Dreams Anymore Poem by RIC BASTASA

i do not dream
that you shall remember me

i do not write
to be remembered

i am looking for relief
someone wonders why that snake is biting

every bark of every tree
it is restless

it is looking for a cure of its
disease

that snake wants to live
some more years

it is looking for the cure of
its restlessness

i do not dream of any dream
i just want to live for another day

i have no more dreams
i am fading like an afternoon light against the horizon
