Nightmare
“frenzy fever morbid murmur - nightmare veer entwine” (by poet)
dark eye of light, arc entangle
in deepest memory
nightmare born
upon writhing fever careen
down crooked spine
warp and spiral dream
though, no outward illness cerebral measure
mad mask hollow glimpse
the sick within
to gears grinding slow engage
in burning skull, snap
catching wayward whispers
indulge
heavy horror, whips
…and slips
through pale landscapes mute
like a child
with a pack
of
matches
