Nocturnal Fears
Woke up in the night propped up
by two stern pillows as brow sweat
dripped onto my chest. Bedroom
dark couldn’t see my hands, opened
the window wide and let in gentle
moonlight. Inhaled night air which
tasted sweet till my heart eased its
drumbeat of fear. Been drowning,
as done a thousand times before, not
in a sea deep green where dolphins
play, but in the dark, lifeless ocean
that laps lazily at the edge of life.
Tried to read, couldn’t concentrate
the dark ocean flooded the village
only road. My heart tolled sweat
dripped onto the floor where house
ants came and drank my terror.
