a man gave me
his abduction diary
because I was
overly understanding
the sketches spoke
the most, the language
was alien & only
a dream codex
could decipher
the meaning of the words
he left me
in shards of
amber & green
glass, then
drove into a
telephone pole
he lived,
but forgot about
the diary;
I still have it
I just don’t see him
in any form anymore

I’ve eaten up every line five times over. The level this speaks to is deep and mysterious and I live for that.

So much said and unsaid in a few lines. I love when someone writes in a way that I can shift perspective and see from many people’s viewpoints.

A superb poem with an offbeat and strange logic that works its way smoothly into the mind!
