Unwelcome (Revision # 1)

You ripped into my mind
last night as I was dreaming wildflowers
the lapwings swooped down
and soon you were descending
from a talon
 
I smiled as I watched
you turn to ash
then disappear from my dream universe
 
You’ve never been invited
never welcomed in my dreams
but I’m sure you’ll intrude again
if for nothing else
you’ll wanna be the overwhelming primrose
defining my dream path
and it’ll be satisfying to see your exclusion
once again
 
You could get buried, next time,
under a mountain of gooseberries
and shoveled into the back of a farm truck
hauling prickly pears
then packaged and shipped
to someplace like Brazil
or even the Bermuda Triangle
where you’d be swallowed whole
as your existence gets digested
and your birth certificate
fades into the arcane
 
Maybe then you’d never come back
never rip into my dreams
uninvited.

You stepped into my mind
last night as I dreamed wildflowers
the lapwings swooped down
and soon you were descending
from a talon
 
I smiled as I watched
you disintegrate into ash
then disappear from my dream universe
 
You’ve never been invited
never welcomed there
but I’m sure you’ll intrude again
if for nothing else
you’ll wannabe the overwhelming primrose
and it’ll be satisfying to see your exclusion
once again
 
Next time you could get buried
under a mountain of gooseberries
and shoveled into the back of a farm truck
hauling prickly pears
then packaged and shipped
to someplace like the Brazil
or even the Bermuda Triangle
 
Where you’d be swallowed whole
as your existence gets digested
and the print on your birth certificate
fades into the obscure
 
Maybe then you’d never come back
never step into my dreams
uninvited.
