Recurring Nightmare

Always jittery
Always hurrying
Always hurting
Always night

Sick or wounded
Disoriented
Always urgent
Always night

Damp and cold
Shoved along
Always struggling
Always night

Always black
Always skewed
Always anxious
Always night

Drowning in the dark
Grasping at patches of grey
Sensing consciousness
Always night

When the dream comes

Spread the love
