Strange Dreams

Rose petals, dried leaves and wet earth
wet bark of the trees, a dripping lamp post
a man huddled in a trench coat
sitting on a bench, a cold bench
his boots soggy, his eyes damp
clutched in his hands
a bunch of fresh flowers
lips mumbling something
a faint tremor in his voice

at a distance they mourn
all dressed in black
and he watches
the death of his dreams
strange are dreams
