I'm asleep assuming the role of victim//I feel 
something//I'm awake assuming the role of a 
stranger//something cold surrounds (me)//all through the 
dark//I open my eyes to a//contorted pale frame//her eyes 
staring out to//nowhere at all//she moves so gracefully 
in spite of me//dancing unlawfully transparent and 
white//belligerent I respond to a distorted sense of 
volume//with ears hearing nothing//I start to fear my own 
fate//before I even begin//belligerent I remove the 
covers//to reveal a//much darker incarnation of fear//and 
I fear my own fate//will mirror that of this wretch!//I 
pretend there was life//at the//bedside I will believe//I 
believe in this life//I can see I am graced by//graced by 
the in-disposable presence of death at my place of 
rest//the apparition, transparent and white.
