Nightmare


Naive, I just wander-
      nameless voices  c a l l i n g,
  Nebulous vague faces,
         need  c r y i n g  out for me . . . 
Necropolis of TOMBS-
     netherworld abyss  . . .  pearl
            necklace ripped from my neck.

I don't remember my dreams much anymore but I do still have the occasional night terror. A darkly foreboding write.
