I Woke 11:59

I dream 
last night
   I was a rebel
   against all good sight
Fighting
Creeping
Screaming
and struggling
...for my life

I dream
last night
   I was a knight
   serving a ravenous king
Raging havoc
pain
grief
and death 
...on other's life

I woke up
that night
   Escaping from that dream
Seeing
Feeling
Hearing
and touching
...lifeless
