Tight-rope walking on my fingertips
fearful of falling into the gorge,
nails drip read tears full of strength.
I feel the power coursing,
pulsing,
through my veins.
I'm a super-human.
A superhero.
Rescuing my dreams
from the spirit terrorists.
They bombed my bedtime Bhagdad.
The place where sleep visions consist
only of happy things like
sex and candy.
It now lays in smoldering ruins.
But alas,
this tight-rope leads to my temple
of hidden wonders.
Just a few more feet left,
must hurry,
because the twines are beginning to unravel.
