all stumpy I awoke
there was no pain
I had no hands
I had no feet
the sutures had healed over
the skin was smooth and beige
this was to show me
the real value
of all my life’s complaints
first world problems, hey?
I swelled inside
fear bursting through my ears and eyes
I went to cry out
it is learned! Have mercy!
but there was too much space in my mouth
I had not a tongue
the sutures had healed over
and the skin was smooth and pink.
A dark dream, but certainly one to dive into. Very nice.

Visceral reaction to this one. Really strong reaction. Can’t click on like because the horror of it. But I can’t look away, either.

A dream… just a dream. But an instructive one.
