Spoiled Milk Dreams

Quick Monday poem

Maybe there are no words left to spill

Because the milk has gone bitter on the counter.

Maybe the elegance of our smooth words

Has rotted alongside the foul milk, curdling now.

.

I am tired of the talking, the sour thoughts

That decomposed between my teeth with neon cereal

Months and months and years ago.

I am tired of thinking these dreams are fresh.

.

Because somewhere along the way the produce went bad.

The fresh snow covering my dreams became crunchy,

And then grey, slushy, filthy.

I don't want to play here.

.

The milk is bitter and so are my dreams.

They've been left on the counter

In the hopes of sprouting a plant

But this was never that kind of dream to begin with.
