WOUNDED IN MY SLEEP

Had a fight in my sleep

With two cats out of hell

The most fiendish felines

Leviathan could expel

In their eyes was wickedness

From an infernal blaze

That they were bent on my harm I could tell…


One sunk its tooth deep in my right hand

The other kept circling

For an advantageous stand

And I knew real courage

My spirit grew stout

So I grabbed my attacker

And broke the strength of its mouth…


The end of this story

Is not for the squeamish

It was bloody and gory

But this was not my dream wish

I ripped its head and body apart

And saw the bad blood

That poured from its heart…


I woke up this morning

With a stinging in my hand

That was so real

I’m trying to understand 

How it could be that the event in my sleep

Could leave a wound so invisibly deep…


And did I kill that second cat…?


Excuse me 

As I return to that dream

And make sure my task

Is finished in its extreme

When this battle is done

There must be no threat

Whenever I lay my head down

To enjoy my due rest
