{i had a bad dream and it lasted two nights} kat sanchez The moon scribbled until the whole sky was black Two men came to the window More tired Than me They wore grey flannel suits and they looked Something grafted to the ocean’s greyslate It was oily and porcelain Fish slicked off the surface Threw themselves through my clean window Mussed up the blinds so I have to buy new ones All the starfish were black now and in the sky They didn’t even look like chalk dust I tried asking the moon for another word One I could sound out phonetically More men came and laid around in the front yard Making sloppy cursive With their arms and their writhing Grey torsos |
