Morning Cleansing

MORNING CLEANSING

Nightmares portend calamitous outcome
Masks of doom pretend to breathe
Nettles hang on morning shower rods
Nightmares dissipate behind steamed doors

Thank you, Vijay! What looks huge and scary at night, often dissipates in morning light.

Great imagery- you describe the feeling very well. I hate waking with this feeling of dread; thankfully, it does dissipate upon getting up.
