a descent into poetry insanity
#1007149 added March 28, 2021 at 9:48am
Restrictions: None
diabetic ketoacidosis
the night before the ICU,
where I awoke with sugared veins
to worried faces,
I dreamed of blood and corpses
and fire and acid,
and stumbled into the kitchen
at midnight
for water (lots of water,
begging for more water),
and lay to rest—just
for a moment—
on the cool floor.

Prompt: short poem based on a dream
