It was day, but it is night now.
Light is turning off
One Switch after another
Congealing the fate of the day.
I want to slam the door on those who sleep
Waking them up to finish our conversations.
My dreams have been like coffins
For unfinished business affairs
With the jury still out, but
The memories buried
And the coffin sealed shut against tomorrow.
Moss blocking a line of a tombstone’s
Melody sung in the key of indifference–
Go home again.
Go home again!
I meant “couldn’t”. I couldn’t have have spoken on my own. Sorry I don’t know if there is an edit optiono once you post a comment.

I love this…I have been dreaming more and more these days, and this piece has put into perspective something I could have spoken on my own.
“I want to slam the door on those who sleep”.
“For unfinished busniess affairs”
Exactly! Thank you!

Thanks. I have been dreaming a lot recently, too, and the dreams are very vivid. I think it is what is going on in the world right now.
