He hung a teaspoon
on the door instead
of a hat, fed us mud
instead of porridge.
At night we heard him
squirm in the confines
of a bed too small
for his page-like frame.
The dreams produced
were too big for his head
and often dripped through
the ceiling. One morning
I woke with men marching
on my lap. Another,
with giant ants, paprika-red.
The day he left, I found
him by my window, wearing
an Icarus suit, desperate
to fly even though the feathers
had been melted to his skin.

 reports, 1d 14h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community.
