Black Dog

Sometimes mad, 
the reigns drag  
from clawing hands,
the pounding steed 
of a racing mind 
now overwhelmed 
in clinging sand,
the world an alien land, fearful 
neath the smothering ooze,
crying in the darks oppression, 
muttering confession to demons 
that watch and wait, for 
darker times come late.
