The Fall

Deep sleep. Lucid dream.
Loud THUD! Wailing voice!
AWAKE,
UP,
RUN!
Terror, panic, fear, horror, OH NO!
Imbalanced rush up stairs, limbs flailing, half-awake, fully terrorized.

She on the floor screaming, crying!
Me, breathless, heart pounding!
Her fall, creating the terror of a live nightmare in me.

Listening, calming, soothing, back scratching.
All is well, go back… to sleep.
