Poem: Surreality

Surreal
Reality defined by the borders of cafe conviviality
Too real
Reality defined by bomb flash and hunger pain
 
Surreal
Blue sky winding-down mood
Surreal
Black, darkening sky, all sketched in blood red,
Tear scarred screams, exhausted eyes of hopelessness
 
Real
Raised fist, organised ranks, grim smile, hopeful
Real Surreal
Words with sharpened points punctuate a sleepiness
 
Real
Surreal
No walls between
