I'm driving down a road.
it's dark
like midnight
like a black hole.
Dark like driving through the country..where there are no street lights for miles.
I drive around a sharp curve
I believe I am following someone
another car ahead.
I slow down
and notice 2 animals laying on their sides
dead.
Sandy in color
like the hills it seems I am driving around.
Like whoever was here before me
was unlucky enough
to strike out
twice.
Straightening the curve
the road ahead keeps throwing me turns
I seem to be going too fast for
I'm trying to slow down.
My head lights seem to dim
like I'm driving into
the very pits of hell.
A bleeding inkstain.
And I'm losing sight of the vehicle in front of me
nervously trying to turn on my brights
and handle my steering wheel
Before I completely loose control
When my eyes flutter awake
I'm laying on the same old couch
My head wrapped in blankets
My cell phone gripped in my hand
and for some reason
in my half concious state
I keep thinking of you
while my stomach churns.
And I think I may have had another dream
(or maybe more like another nightmare)
where I found myself in a room
in a house I didnt know
in a bathroom I've never seen
with tiles that may have been white
but are stained with grey filth
and dirt in the cracks
and I think I see
6 legged creatures crawling across the floor
When I end up outside
on a nicely manicured lawn
next to a dark sand colored house
like desert clay
I remember seeing your face.
And maybe you were trying to tell me something
but I can't remember a word you may have said.
I'm laying here
on that same old couch
It was 101 degrees outside today.
I took a 30 minute nap
and awoke when the sun was starting to set
with a million questions running through my mind
wondering just what I should do
with this newly acquired
subconcious
information.
