Your Nightmare

can you picture?
fifty naked men?
with bat wings?
made of skin?
opaque as a crepe?
flap, flap, flapping?

ears like wolves.
snouts like wolves.
swim through blood
like fish tank
frequenters.

caverns like locker rooms.
naked and free.
naked and steamy.
naked and clean.
naked and mean.

close your eyes.

can you picture?
your nightmare?
give it wings.
give it wolfish snarls.
take off its clothes.

your nightmare is
fifty naked men
with bat wings
made of skin
opaque as a crepe
flap, flap, flapping.

isn’t it?
