its a jumbleusually a jumble
but
thats why he dreamed
he set the stage
set
the white noise by the washing machine
concentrated on
setsscenes and characterspersons of interest
rarely real people
could
probably count on both hands – no toes necessary – of people he knew
he dreamed strangers who either grew
stranger or he got to know them acquaintances attractive
lovers
he was astonished if
someone he knew appeared in a cameo
just didnt happen
and besides
given his penchant to dream the bizarre it would be Impossible to figure outanalyze what the hell they were doing there
it was better to play with strangers
last nights jumble
differing skeinsthreadsfabriccordsropes woundup
like a ball of yarn rags collecting in
street gutters
then a shuddershudders of lifeanimation quivering grotesque
then realised
Alive
a bustedbroken resembling a fox
and people stepping into the street to cross it a filthy corrupt illlighted street disregarding the clots and flotsam stepping over them the surly fox hamstrings them slashes their
Achilles tendons with whiteshining teeth
hot
rubyred splashes and variedsize pokedots
screams of agony turned to last-blowing-air
tickling the foxs muzzle devouring in
the street not far from steel manhole
covers which seemed to him unwilling witnesses then closing their eye mocking they were blind
kneaded lumps of disparate
coloured fabric kicked or stepped on by errant shoes or boots a blueelectric shivers spasms inside itleaking
out of it asif touched by The Hand of
God animated
that lump congeals
with another and another and another and stumbles to its kneeshands on the oily tarmac staggersup becomes a disgusting human form
then turns into a vicious
cannibal who can runpursue its prey off
the street up steps break through slammed doors
GORE
could be the reason why he dreamed of strangers
