Kafka Dreams


Harvey Dog – Kafka Dreams (2020)

Kafka Dreams - drawing by Harvey Dog 2020

dark thoughts
& Kafka dreams
distort my
future,
my history

time floats
suspended,
is it ever
now?

walking down
shallow hallways
painted with grey
despair,
I listen to
‘roaches whispering
golden truths
at the trial

candles flicker
in & out of focus
as shadows dance
within the flame,
absurd promises
emanate from
morbid lips
& broken hearts

my fragile reality
drifts
toward
dark thoughts
& Kafka dreams

…again

Notes

  • An absurd poem that became more absurd (& squeamish) after re-reading The Metamorphosis – which was as wonderful as I recalled.
  • Sweet dreams!
