Poem – Lost In Translation

by C. Derick Miller

Dream of worlds I’ve created
Electronic nightmares
Freezing in unconsciousness
Intoxicating refreshment
One by one they fall
Accuracy and cold sweat
Sacrifice of sustenance 
Traffic jam in my veins
Drive-by kisses from the darkness
Nostalgia in the womb
The weekend calls…
