A Voice I Do Not Recognize
Prancing within my own ideas are those of a voice
I neither recognize nor discern as a true possibility
A fairy? Muse? Entity? Disillusioned poltergeist?
Relieved she is not shouting or hurting me yet,
I am only a sliver of a slit frightened.
She appears more powerful than I have ever been
Or ever will be, and yet, I attempt to appease and approach.
I flinch as she tramps down a spot in my gray matter.
Hear a loud yawn before she lies down
Snoring deeply now like a satisfied cat.
I will never be able to close my eyes now.
