ALL THE RAGING All the wild thoughts running rampant All the hot, hot, summer nights Where sheets cling sweaty Run from moonless cries of birds And nightmares All the raging thoughts, the mad ones All the frantic tossing and turning In half sleeping half awake Cruising through forests dark And haunting All the unbridled delirious dreams All the summer feverish unconscious Escaping every hand and face Carrying and forever running Away from it *** October 31, 2016

Crazed, felt as you wrote this in one breath, the way I read it, a darkly written reality.

Turning reflections into poetic beauty ... the swarms of emotions refusing the leash ... enjoyed reading ...
