A Poem a Day (480): Idle days

 
Idle days

 
We dream of warm days.
The scent of idleness
brushes us by, renewing
energies we thought lost.
 
We pigeon our dreams away,
franked and labelled neatly,
message them to runaways
and open them in stealth.
 
We are dreamers lost and dreamt,
woken in fields of our minds,
creating ever-new patterns
and words we’ll use just once.
 
This is how we paint our days,
eye the slither of grease & wet
the deep slide on to canvas
of oils molten in our hands.
