I slept on the blanket
Of green grass
Under the auburn autumn tree.
And with my shallow breathing
And brown shaggy dog
kissed my appeased soul
I closed my eyes and fell
Asleep under the shedding
Late fall trees, as cotton candy clouds
Effortlessly Floated by
Days passed in harmonious tune
And I awake with a humorless start
The beautiful landscape I had slept in
Had subtly altered from the blissful state
Clouds had to work hard to move
And no longer joyfully sang with the birds
Leaves did not fall from above
But orange moths dotted the sky
The grass was yellow and famished
And cut my skin until I bled
Yet the dog hadn't changed
Except now it wore the maniacal smile
Saying wordlessly "you don't know me"
