two images and a dream i saved. "attention" ::: the poem


Raul Munoz
“Attention”
Feathers on the grasswalk like an
Elder’s headdress. –Yes, we’ll surrender.
Danglin’ moon tonight, hanging from
The violet sheet like an earring.
It was raining bad that dream.
Cats and dogs outside, let them
Reach our ceiling. Third to last
Was half dog half sea lion. Last
One in was dog sized sea lion.
–That’s weird, come on in, stranger.
Then it was Africa, a pet nursery.
Miniature sheep and baby elephants.
The city, asphalt was on a hill. All the
Guns and ammo rolled to the bottom
Gutter. We were headed to Europe next.
:Shirtless backs facing God asking for peace.
