NYTMARES

Woke in the
Night
Sweating
Violent dreams
Of
Distressing animals
Of my second
Nature

Woke in the
Case of the
Re-opened curtains
Shedding
Light like tears
Creeping
Dreamtone
Ajar

Woke in
Alarm
Believing
Irreality
In the
Split
Of a second
In the skating
Where
We swam

The dark-bright waters
Of
Abstract crystal
