Reflections Poem by David DeSantis

Reflections

Rating: 5.0


Oh these dreams,

Infantile infanticide
damned if I could
wash these stains
away from a pant leg
whose drip dropped dice
love to play crash
with elastic masters.

Wanton rage
I roll with destruction
and make no sense
in these sunny pastures.

But therapeutic
word games
do what they should
while
bronzed weight towers
are
spun from my head.

She used to read me
tales of the Hobbit
And he lived in our furnace
waiting to see me

and my mother would smile
while wanting
more for me
simple child
don't do what you do...

Sometimes, a piece on face value feels so, sort of, randomly thrown together that one things one can't relate.... until one realises that that randomness is perhaps precisely the reason one can. Pass the G & T. t x

Sounds like a drunk rush of memories, not altogether unpleasant. Great job as always
