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
