The Dream Devourer

The dream devourer 
consuming the man and his thoughts 
Mo ri yin
I see you 
I see you dashing away 
With an overwhelming perk
sprinting awesomely 
rupturing the mended portal 
wrecking the passing phase 
Mo gbo o
I hear it
I hear a deafening cough
ibon ti ke
the sound of gun fire 
I am scared
urging to get out 
struggling with this muddled dream 
tossing amidst the flashes 
of blade and brittle bones 
I strain to whisper 
I strain, huffing for strength 
peeping outside 
only to witness 
the mystic portrait
of the darkness 
puffing out smoke
