I just had the coolest dream ever

I caught a glimpse of what I didn’t see

in my dreams last night

and it might as well have been a nightmare

despite the absence of a monster

because I woke up haunted by it;

I woke up with its claws stretching the pores

on the muscles within my chest

from the outside in,

lodging the essence of itself inside of it

even though it doesn’t fit.

I woke up from a dream

that I know is reality.

That’s scarier than any nightmare.
