no rest for the wicked
No Rest for the Wicked

The crackle and sputter of the fire
Devouring wood, paper and lies.

Morpheus is lost to me.

But in my wake i still find the nightmares.
The shadows prosper with shapeshifters.

These monsters and visions vex me no more or less,
Than the words that the flames spit out rather than ingest.
