Last Dream Today.

Almost over, 
almost back to Shadowville.
Leaving the land of Sky Poets
Rainbow Dreamtown.
After all this-
I mumble in my sleep.
After all this-
comes the high tide.
Last spark of beauty 
to steal me for my grin return.
Where the women can't be trusted.
They'll make a man do anything-
from fornication to murder.
Even turn him into a pimp.
Almost over, 
almost back to Shadowville.

There she stands again
in that cold foggy marsh, 
in a green tattered scarf---
it's my last dream today.

Weariness returns
spectral memories of course
conversations to regret
words and lies that were forced.

On a cracked sidewalk
another Broadway stroll
by the fountain fate took it's toll---
still my last dream today.

She said that she was really 
Burned Out
seductive and strange.
He said where is the man with the pistol
I'm gonna fetch my sword.

Then there she stands again, 
in the Martian Reeds
hand full of gleaming seeds...
it's my last dream today.

Grey Things inhabiting the planes
where the lumber was kept.
On a shimmering night
I stood on the bridge and wept.

There she stands again
told me what I needed to know
hint of a flurry of snow...
it's my last dream today.
