AT LARGE, THE KILLER DREAMS

At large, the killer dreams of black zeroes,
cold Coca-Cola, and dire wolves.

There was a time he was denied such visions, but
with three dead in two states dreams now present.

Walls of water, a skyscraper made of bone, a clock with
eyes always reading ten minutes till midnight.

In the morning the killer pays off his balance
and accepts a paper cup of old coffee.

Later heading east, a storm up from the Gulf is a veil
alive with light, a reminder of his ferocity and his madness.

Kieran confesses: "Inspirations - Sng’oi people of Malaysia and how they believe dreams are real and life is an illusion...Charles Starkweather...tenuous road existence and the the delusional normalcy of modern sexual violence."
