Bedroom Before Dawn

A scene-led poem about nightmares and the details that first bring it near.

The first lesson of Nightmares waited at the bedroom before dawn: a locked hallway lengthened behind closed eyes. The familiar clock wore a stranger's face. No grand conclusion followed, only the durable fact that fear can feel endless until waking gives it edges.
