Poetry from Emily J. Cousins

Perfect Dream Decoder

I’ll tell you what we’ll do
we will string a cord from your brain

to the televisions
switch on the monitors one at a time

watch the slow motion
hooves of your night horses

turn over & over
the ground will give crack

beneath them
I will finally know what it means

not like when you tell me
I will finally know what it all means
.
