The Metaphors Of My Morning After A Nightmare Poem by RIC BASTASA

you have misplaced yourself
and regrets are here abounding

the white monkey sits upon a
red rock dreaming about the white crows

the spotted panther runs in the desert of
chocolate and got stuck upon a wish of

sandy stars in the dusty galaxy where
the pink owls are building a home

most things are misty and dew is a place
where most of the lost ones put their hopes

the blue school of fish are happy with
your torn nets with the eyes of panda as mesh

your boat though confident with its rudders
and rigs bleeds upon a hole in its heart.
