Midnight
One day Rolling wolves in confines of night Escaping day Come out and play Come out and play Play with lives of the stray Gnawing old bones Bled rocks roll down hills of yesterday Waiting for the moon Too soon for blood Hunting for right thing to say Howl anyway For what good will it do to run Faster than the sun They find you in night Blind spots in sight Gathering lost Of October winds Blown through skin An echo running fast Come out and play Come out and play Hungry ghosts Nipping heels yelping with delight For they feast heavy and ride tonight Here’s one temptation for the lonely heart Beautiful sun Come out and play Come out and play Your house is on fire Come out and play (c) 2012 Andy Cook

I woke up to the sound of a baby crying. I keep having this recurring dream. I am a young girl dancing around a maypole with my friends. Our mothers are lounging around watching over us in between drinking and laughing. Then, they all leave except my mother. After she falls asleep, a man in a dark suit beckons me to come over to him. He says he wants to show me something. I want to stay with my friends but he keeps smiling at me, telling me I can trust him, that I am supposed to listen to adults, “You wouldn’t want to upset your Mommy, would you?” I don’t want to go, but I listen and follow him into a golden colored room. Then, the room turns black. I realize the room is bad, and the man is bad, but it’s too late because the door closes with me locked inside.
Each time I have this dream, I wake up to the sound of a baby crying. Of course, the cry comes from my dream because I don’t have any children. I live alone. And this is the morning I have to drive back to my hometown. I haven’t been back in years. I haven’t talked to my mom in years. I guess I won’t ever get the chance to talk to her again in this lifetime. All I have now are memories...bittersweet. I clench the steering wheel pausing to pull myself together. Before I put the car in drive, I slip in a tape that Scott made for me when we were young. As I listen to it, memories flood in and I am taken back...to as early as I remember...
