Embolus

1.

A train car

Floats away –
Tripping on acid.

 

2.

A cloud,

Moved in,
To our tenth floor penthouse.

3.

The candle complains

Of cataracts
And astigmatism
While his blood orange hair

Swishes like waves.

4.

Your belt’s

Organ donor
Somehow
Slid into my dreams.

5.

It is not,

Babe,
A mental health issue.

My thoughts mostly originate

In a corner of my spleen.

6.

I sit and watch

A water drop
Curling into vapor.

 

7.

You say,

What is a nuclear war
But a buffet of sounds?

 

8.

Our spider plant

Has emboli
Swimming through his veins.  

I’m scared

He’ll have a stroke
And I’ll lose
My only friend.
