Dream Prism
A cornlike monster with ugly tang fish gills
dreams of becoming a mermaid prodigy
dishing out rhymes to a clown farther off
than Australia. She travels with a fat
English prawn and a psychotic pickle
renown for his voodoo medicine;
His license revoked after performing
a fatal bypass on an Italian bean.
Their eyes turned yellow in the shade-
less sockets of stillborn lizards. Seven stop signs
grew from their toes. They were thieves,
untouchables in the crevice of a very small toad,
comfortless as vinegar. They found my chiseled
amethyst love letters and turned them to angels
weeping dead, icy heads. But I budded
as a May amapola and ascend
just like my grandmothers
as a May amapola and ascend
just like my grandmothers
before me ascended.
