Chewing The Dream
written by: James Dennis Casey IV

I followed his soul
to the other side
still can’t stand
the taste
unicorn ashes
regretful things
remembered
chewing the dream
over
and over
seeking answers
for questions lost
to this vile carnival
long ago
hidden
in the flavor
that lingers
upon my tongue
