I look to eat

I was dreaming a new dream.
We lived in my gardens.
I was rich, too.

My gardens were dead.
The fruit had fallen.
We found it later,
black stains in the earth.

  1. I like this poem.

    I like the second stanza the best though.

  2. I think the second two lines are my favorite. They're kind of jarring with the rest of the poem... They don't seem to be in quite the same voice.

  3. I mean last two lines. Sorry.
