sweet dreams are made of these

fallen snow

Au Revoir Simone is a feminine electro-pop group from Brooklyn with an ethereal look & feel. This is one of the tracks from their The Bird of Music album.Their press sheet said, “The Bird of Music is an album steeped in hazy dreams, thoroughbred horses, soft winter snows, dusty rays of sunlight and lovelorn wishes. It is a record of dichotomies, carefully marrying cold beats with warm voices, joy and sadness, the human and the machine.” Website here.

sleeping with the meteorologist

I’ve been thinking
imbibing those nascent things
in a pantheon of doom
suffused with light.

I’ve been missing
the one with the tattoo,
full of grunge,
and humor, and darkness,
inside my vertiginous eye.

I’ve been sleeping
with the meteorologist,
whose predictions are an assemblage
of signs, from God,
who’s everywhere,

in the crevices of light & darkness,
in the falsehood of ceilings.

Process notes: The image prompt from We Write Poems is an iteration series by Fred Muram. It’s full of surrealistic suggestions, and mine is only one suggestion, against so many other probabilities/possibilities. You can read the others over at We Write Poems on Wednesday.
