the dead dream

i saw him ram the knife into the  man's rib cage.
i ran and pulled the knife out. he didn't bleed.

i saw him wring the neck of the woman. i walked up
and put her head straight. she didn't cry.

i saw them gag and drag a little girl into the woods.
i sat at the edge and waited. she didnt return.

 i saw the men push the woman down and spread her legs.
i stepped back and watched. she didn't move.



i saw them fire at us point blank. with their army rifles.
the bullets went thru us. we didn't fall.

then i woke up and realised that we are all dead and
turned statues. a long time back.
