A poem that’s been revised ~ Purple Grapes

There’s a deep dark hue

to the worst of dreams.

I’ve been hanging out with the dead.

Those old ghosts are controlling my head

My heart is an open wound

Sweet grapes stuck in old glue.

Baby, I’m crushed, battered and blue

from banging myself on these boarded-up walls

with the juice pouring out on you.
