Mother is dead💀

Today, I dreamt
Stiff trees waving to the left
Their fruits dripping red
Mother said it’s bad omen
‘Pray and go to bed’

Again, I dreamt
Black caps with wailing sirens
Little girls crying
Mother said something’s fishy
‘sleep I’ll be praying’

I dozed, I dreamt
Chameleons drown in a river
Fishes taking bites
Mother said it’s just my mind
‘Son, sleep. You’ll be fine’

Once more, I dreamt
Hyenas crunch a bloody bone
Lost dogs far from home
I won’t disturb mother! No.
I’d rather boil stones

Today, I dreamt
Whispers told me to wake up
To women weeping songs
Of my mother who never saw the dawn
Of the sun she gave birth to.

This is not reality
This is not a dream
A story maybe.🌻

"Dreams are omens of a man’s fortune."
