Go Home
he runs on forgotten bridge
crossing to a dream
all gone now with whirling
winds leaves dead on ground
he screams to go back
to what it was, a confetti
of stars on warm dreams
love of his life, living
he stands alone tears
on eyelashes as grey
life, world colourless
It's instantly nothing
he weeps with fear
weariness and listlessness
alone unsure peeled skin
over exposed heart
all he hears
are vague words now
a memory
go home, cowboy, go home.

This has a uniquely tangential and yet softly subtle flow to it that I find endearing and fascinating. The images that rise to the mind's eye are both vivid and fleeting, like a dream. Terrific emotional quality as well.

Thanks so much for reading and commenting Daniel. This was based on a dream. And John Wayne's date of death. Weird.🌹
