It's a worry.

Cosmofunnel exclusive

It's a worry.

I dream.
Of floating tall ships.
Of waterfalls in the sky.
Of abandoned zoos and museums whose rooms seem to go on forever.
And awful narrow staircases. That seem to reach too high.

I dream.
Of hidden busy marketplaces. Selling foreign goods – patrons always faceless.
They look like their going places. But I can never find what I’m looking for.
So, I’m heading out the door.

And there I dream.
Of swimming pools that you dare not enter and ornate changerooms sickly yellow tiles.
Of train stations and futuristic motels lining an underground space. You must walk single file.
Now I feel I’m being chased.

Out the backdoor – no time to save the dog, I make an impossible jump off the deck, over the fence and into the bush. I run. I run.

I finally feel free.  
You see. None of this really concerns me, either it’s the future or the past. So, in any case it’s already happened or it’s currently happening. I know you can’t change that.

But I find myself ever more worried. That over the last 2 weeks.
I’ve only dreamt of you.

Hey guys, Max here. Just letting you know that I've started another account on All Poetry under this link https://allpoetry.com/Max_Denver. I'm using it as a staging ground to showcase my best work on Cosmofunnel. For now, new and exclusive work will still be posted on here. Can't stick around to comment today. Hope you all are doing well!

Hi Shirley thanks for your comment. Such a write makes a poet very vulnerable, yet strong at the same time. I'm glad I ended up sharing this one, and glad you enjoyed the read~
