a nightmare

yesterday i woke up in the middle of a nightmare

such a lovely day to have the horror crawl your back

yet my dreams continued without me

and i saw the same dream being dreamed again

from the start of time, from the first night

a dream feared through millennia

from one man's eyes to another's

and the dream saw me and turned her head
away from me and she blinked

for she sent me back to sleep and so i did
with the sparkles of what is left of me i slept

and her laugh in my ears
the dream, the nightmare
