Nightmare

by Anastasia Shows

Big brown iris starring at my face,
a gaze so chilling,
i feel my heart quicken its pace.
What marked cards are you dealing?

It's clear to me this wicked eye
is trying to place a price on me.
Is their a bounty branded on my thigh?
disruptive energy cuts my chi.

sharp scarlet nails dig into my back.
I scream in anguish.
no time to properly react.
blood hits the pavement. plosh, plish.

alarm goes off, my body rigid,
why on earth are dreams so vivid?
