Never Sleep

Never Sleep

A Poem by Allen Masterson

A faint sound as skin capitulates to steel
An amber injection to virgin vein
A reaching breath to catch a train

While dream time men hurl boomerangs
At dead inventions conjured to quell our brains

In a dirty room of silence
I dilate my eyes
And draw the blinds....

A dried up river of liberation
Is no hope for a burning bush
I'm perched up on a toilet lid with Huxley
Revisiting Brave New World
And orange kush

While a climbing Krishna
With a home made hookah
Brings two worlds into one

Divorcing reality and surfing
The waves of an exploding sun

Isis in the sky has spoken
An ancient smile as our spell is broken

She whispers, "Never sleep"
