Speak a nightmare

 


I want to speak to you

a nightmare,

it resides inside,

it aches in your mind.

The eerie residue

of a mysterious view.

The man who stands

crooked against a wall

when light leaves the room.

Just in the corner,

hidden under the gloom.

You won't see him if you look his way,

he fades into the shade,

only when you divert your gaze.

does this vision become less opaque.

 

I want to share with you a nightmare.

A dream, which got twisted

and then came true.

A dream that if you were there,

would leave you choking in dispair.

The man in the corner stands

picking strands from his gown.

He only hangs around

once the moon has gone down.

Under his hood, a distorted mask,

a scream etched in place,

a scream with no face.

A scream,

too real

to be a figment

of this dream space.

 

I want to share with you

a nightmare,

the man in the black gown

is well prepared.

He stalks his prey,

pouring through the darkness

like ink in a bathtub.

He watches both night and day.

If you see him move

in the dim light

it’s like a stuttering

strobing Xray,

all bones and decay,

jittering across the floor

like insects creeping

all over your doubt.

 

I want,

No.

I need

to make you aware.

The being in this nightmare

is standing right there,

just behind you.

Don't move an inch.

Don't breathe.

Don't let that

startled gasp leave.

Don't blink.

Don't think of running.

Just be as still as the dead.

Clear all thoughts from your head,

and even though you feel

a twinge in your chest,

don't breathe.

Don't.
