The Sandman never leaves
Autumn eternal
These windy dreams bathe in sheep’s blood
Underneath lies a bled wolf
The Sandman never leaves
Winter everlasting
These frigid dreams nip at my wings
Tumbling tundras and blurred vision
The Sandman never leaves
Spring deadened
These faux flowery dreams disintegrate my hope
Ashen rebirth of a pollinator
The Sandman never leaves
Summer ruination
These incinerating dreams immolate my soul
Scathing sands and glassy eyes
THE SANDMAN NEVER LEAVES
fall undying
these blended realities foretell undead nightmares
egregious cycle of repeated death
the Sandman never leaves
ARCTIC PERPETUAL
THESE SNOWFLAKES OF DELUSION KISS MY HEART
RESPLENDENT HORROR IN A BRUSH OF FIRE
The
Sandman
Never
Leaves

Author's Notes: I rediscovered my 1980's poetry magnets box and in it were two poems I find compelling. I recall having challenged myself to create two poems using the same set of words. These two poem are what spilled out. Which one resonates more with you, version A or B? Leave it in Comments. I'd love to know your thoughts!
