Terribly Taboo

Tracking the terror back
a tumble start – tiptoeing through the dusky morning
tongue tied and exhausted

For a fraction of a second wondering if
perhaps
these ominous dreams are somehow carefully cloaked honesty

Brushing revelation followed by
catastrophic relief –
it was a mere mixture of someone else’s nightmare.

A night of paralyzing dreams
- the dreams of the dead –
arms flailing helplessly to break through
it is only me here

morning toes – the dream realms slipping
what was it, again? The thing that mesmerized me?
repeat, but not so swiftly.
it is only I that’s awake.

Slipping

dreams peppered with masked men
caustic happenings.
in my half-asleep condition I am spinning in circles –
hair cutting patterns in my face.

Terrors

my exhaustion is seeking solace
hot brown swirling a.m. elixir
too often catapulted from unconsciousness
