after the empire collapses

Vipassana

 


a dead chicken
on the sidewalk

embers—little bits 
of  burning paper

drifting in the
air a man asleep 

on a king-size 
bed in an empty

warehouse a she
done me wrong

song with a slow
cha-cha rhythm

playing somewhere
distant and no 

one there to talk
to and no where

to go and no 
way to get there

    A most unusual format to this poem that's lines continue from one stanza to the next in irregular breaks. It has surreal imagery that adds to the dream like feel. Well done
