In That Dream I Became A Stain In My Own House
I dreamt that I was bitten by venomous snakes
The first was a cottonmouth,
In my living room
The second a black mamba,
In my parents’ bedroom
In that dream I became a stain in my own house,
A rejected organ
My parents watched crime television specials
In place of the news

In That Dream I Became A Stain In My Own House won first prize in the Writeabridge poetry competition 2017.
