an electron dispersion
as dream turns to a shower
of sparks smoldering upon
the carefully tucked covers
until the entire dreamscape
becomes a raging inferno
slowly consuming every stray
oxygen molecule to fuel
the never ending destruction

tossing and turning
a cold sweat clings
to numbed flesh
another evening spent
in the throes of
manic anxietial madness

electronic miseries in
technicolor hellshowers
a million stinging ants
chewing greedily on each
fibrous muscle igniting
tendrils of pain to race
between misfited neurons
a contained tempest of
insidious flashbacks to
a time when innocence itself
provided no protection from
the actuality of reality
