Brian Looney

    Plucking straws from the subconscious, in between worlds.
My head’s still in the caverns, though stems nail through the turf. I’d like to move right by them, but my hands claw out and pull.

    They pull and meet resistance, stubborn and unbudging. The roots have grown into the rock, wedging in and clinging, as if they had the right. Then dawn gleams into the fields, and I’m caught within the sunlight, pecking in the rows.

    Robed figures stare, but they treat me like a vision, solely self-acknowledging. They are stricken with the malady, a black insomnia, a poetic ailment. It comes from wandering, shuffling through caves.

    Now the exit’s just behind me, and I’m confronted by the fields. Those roots, those brittle straws, those signs of life. They poke my throat and gums, canker-sores tomorrow.
