Graphite sketch of snapdragon seedpods, which resemble macabre skulls. 2021

in tired dreamscape of cults and monsters

a woman lives on farmstead nowhere

in tired dreamscape of fire and horror

we followed the river to farmstead somewhere

to hallucinogenic hypnopompic nightmare

.

pulled from subconscious i fear

what the unconscious for me stores

as i pick apart unlived nightmares

for answers to questions i never asked for

The hand-lettered, illustrated poem. Between the stanza and wrapping behind the first stanza is a snapdragon stalk, withe seedpod skulls at the bottom, and going up we see flowers about to go to seed, regular flowers, and at the top are the buds. Ink & graphite, 2021.

Thank you for being here, thank you for reading.

A tip is never expected, but always appreciated.

Have sweeter dreams than I.
