Yesterday Visions

I wish I could be cleaner that I could stand up

I would stand up and tear

out pages that make me sad

but there is no reason to give up anymore

the dragon in the elevator is our friend

he blows smoke so I cannot see

the smoke hurts my eyes

but better the smoke than the dream

if my eyes water it isn’t the same

as crying

I do not cry

I am a bunny in a hutch

the hutch is safe

but I want to be out

with the other bunnies

The dragon is in the fireplace

I see his glowing eyes

this time I cannot be afraid

he hears the dog howl too

if only I could howl along

there are no clues just riddles

the dog only wants to be home

I wish I could help him

but like me his home is long

gone
