Post-Traumatic, Stress "In Order"
A Recurrent Dream by West Parker, In Villanelle Form

These fears of mine aren't so divine
(a desperate dispute of ownership)
Will I climb the great decline?
//
You present your teeth, I show refine
(or a bellied, tart, and dangerous quip)
These fears of mine aren't so divine
//
Before I scream I stay in line
(Despite your grossly bloated ego-trip)
Will I climb the great decline?
//
Bring the others, I do not mind
(They scoff our family relationship)
This fear of mine is so divine
//
I shriek and shout, I lose my spine
(They fear me now, you get your poise and grip)
I will not climb the great decline
//
I am the monster, I am unkind
(You are the human, it was only a nip)
This fear of mine is not so divine
Will I climb the great decline?
