I Dream
~ djl

Another midnight waking
Drenched in sweat
And tears
And fear
And perhaps the waters that I dreamed of

Another harsh nightmare
That seemed more like life
Than anything else

I sit
And shake
And pace
And change this sweaty shirt
That sticks to my back
That sticks to my chest
And that, so easily, chills me

By 3 a.m.
I'm almost ready to sleep again
Almost ready to face it

This recurring nightmare
This flood
These frozen waters
And this sad, cold, white
Frozen face
