A pile of gossamer shavings grow on her sheets, Surrounded by splinters near her pillow- concealed by soft down. She awaits the conception of a fish, Sat...

Nightmare
In my dream the deception was deep, This girl was healed through the enemy, And everyone believed that this healing came from God, She was showing proof that her sickness was gone, She was passing around a rope that was plated in the middle with gold, But the rest of the rope looked rugged and old, I knew it looked strange...
