Eyes scan the room, taking it all in.
It isn't real; it was just a dream...
A nightmare.
Heart beat pounds in my inner ear. Sweat rolls off my brow. I cannot catch my breath. I roll to my side & clutch the pillow under my head.
A dream...
A nightmare. Just...
Eyes now dry desert head lamps, full bore. Burning & red. Staring straight forward.
I'm not going back. Not to That...
I turn on the light. Make a coffee. Stare a my newest cardboard canvas, just a few lines mark it.
A dream...
Not a nightmare. Just a dream...
