I’m sleeping Heavy creaking footsteps walk down our hall Into our bedroom Auditory echo of dysnchronous high amplitude waves [maybe?] Rough hands grab my legs Ripped out of bed Dragged out of the tissue paper of my reality Into dark expanse, glistening eyes turn to me Voice  [speaks internally]: I will eat you, one day at a time. Moment by moment I devour you Struggle Open my eyes Articulating forms become dresser Plant Clothes on the floor “Stop” “You’re dreaming. It’s nothing. Go back to sleep”. I wake up tired the next day.

I’m sleeping Heavy creaking footsteps walk down our hall Into our bedroom Auditory echo of dysnchronous high amplitude waves [maybe?] Rough hands grab my legs Ripped out of bed Dragged out of the tissue paper of my reality Into dark expanse, glistening eyes turn to me Voice  [speaks internally]: I will eat you, one day at a time. Moment by moment I devour you Struggle Open my eyes Articulating forms become dresser Plant Clothes on the floor “Stop” “You’re dreaming. It’s nothing. Go back to sleep”. I wake up tired the next day.
