Autopsy Of A Dream

Autopsy Of A Dream

A Poem by Kate Henderson

Let your muse express its kind 
In the autopsy of your mind 

Autopsied dream 
Fire, Air, Water, Earth 
Running wild in the forest 
An animal 
Silhouette of your future 
Flashes before your eyes 
Limbs like trees run on for miles 
The blood is the time 
The veins carry the clock 
To your next adventure 
Nightmare skeletons 
Forged in your mind 
Every cell a new memory 
That you cannot find 
Use your eyes like 
The Surgeon 
And perform the 
Operation 
To dissect each dream 
As if it were an abscess 
You need to remove 
Examine it like a Scholar 
Read the textbook 
Back to front 
Pick the journey 
To the dreams 
And piece them back together 
Like your organs 
Function to build life and 
Carry you through 
As can dreams 
Destroy you
