under heel

by Travis G Finborg

 a dream blossomed under my walking feet
tufts of desire waver beneath my heel
i entered a cloud of smell
scorched rubber flavors my tongue
a black film covers my skin
sticky and sweet

I pawed at the miasma of dream
suffocated by unfulfillment
the unreality crushes

where is the truth?
what of this smoked out dream is real?
I perceive deception
I perceive delusion
it is a cloud of confused intentions and desires

Dizzying.. it reads as a small head rush, and good times were had by all.

It does seem like a sudden, brief flash of truths. It's the kind of thing that hits you in a dream and miraculously stays with you. Nicely done, sir.
