A poem

Familiar faces,

black ball eyes

no escape.

Clothes, a uniform

sewn to my skin.

Arch enemy up top,

walking without movement.

Shapes becoming sounds,

manic sweat sensations

need help.

//

An entity unknown,

its presence is felt.

Large and small,

everything at once.

Up top she turns,

her mouth erupts

arcadian light.

I flinch and soil,

silent laughter

they know what they're after

need help.

//

One by one,

they all stand and begin.

I know where I am,

too little too late.

I choke on my scream,

and my sweat becomes green.

Close my eyes,

until I wake.
