Dream 2

Wild overgrown hedge,
green tendrils like fingers
reach out to stop us.

Sunken sidewalk, bog
of wet leaves, moss, and mud.
We cross, watch from other side.

Scary side of street.
Houses with eyes watching us,
and whispering, go.

A light flickers on
a cat appears, we cross and
call, kitty, kitty.

The cat watches us
padding uphill to the woods
eyes glowing green blue.

Here kitty kitty.
Don't follow it. Come back. Run.
Around the corner...

We find normal life
a hat shop where church ladies
buy pink feathered crowns.
