PEPPER GLASS DREAMS

 

 

Seen the plastic people

watched the superficial

     and tried to work

             it out

endless headless horses

    hindering sunshine

in the afternoons

of pepper glass dreams

A fragile intensity exhudes form this, like a window just before it cracks. There is a movement through disillusion and fractured perception, trailing the reader through a landscape where artifice and confusion muddles clarity. "Pepper glass" is an evocative phrase that in conjunction with this poem makes it linger in the corner of thoughts.
