Riding the Night Mare
Someone help me put out the fire!
Flames shoot across the furtive reaches of my mind,
landing in a forest of forgetting.
Bugs in the brain erupt on my skin.
Darkness enfolds me,
save for rapid bursts of crooked light.
Lightning strikes once, twice,
then many times more,
on the very same spot.
Another myth shattered.
Somewhere inside & out there, an inferno rages.
The price of a lie.
The cost of delusion.
Words spill onto the page,
then crackle and pop on screen.
Enter "Save."
The mind smolders, but my body is safe.
Until the next time.
- g.p.
