Black Lake of Broken Dreams
Green, white.
Wood wafts westward into my nasal wonder.
Beans crack and crumble away to dust
As the black lake of broken dreams
Boils into blight.
Creators crawl the clavier, clawing
Through the crevices of hanging air and
Caffeinated condensation.
There’s a faint glimmer in the dimness;
Scratching, the paper curls to unveil
The matter behind the mind.
