ICEDREAM

Last night
a bowl of iceDREAM 
gave me brain-freeze: 

Frozen subconscious
diving into an ocean of peppermint oil: 
the cranium's menthol I catch. 

I stay awake and will the clock to sleep. 

What have I become 
but the stars that crackle in the night,
a lamenting smoke,
a clogged aorta of a silhouette
in reverse 
infused by the giant ink-blot 
of your rubbing me out. 

In the morning
I watched the sunrise misfire 
on areas that sunbeams usually touch

(This spooked the flowers
