Twilight Serenade by Jason Myles Goss

thrice

very bad dream
just now

i dreamed
about alligators.

my poor sweet mikey...

it's not funny.

it was real.

i picked him up in my arms
my dog and i

calling for help.

we were walking in the water
that runs
along the interstate    i guess

it was
apocalyptic.

there were
kangaroos.
    
i kicked him.

(the alligator)

with my pink rain boots
on.
i was

falling
backwards,

mikey
in my arms.

i woke up.  i have

no one to tell...
no one to tell.
