Fever

Check out my book, Seedy Town Blues Collected Poems, available on Amazon.

They came to me in
a febrile dream.
Whispered screams and
malformed limbs.
They wanted to drag
me to the hell they
came from, but I fought,
and got well.

Has the sound of a passage through an ordeal. The nightmarish beings depicted may represent fears encountered during the worst of it. Thankfully, the ending was a happy one.

[Thomas W Case]

Night sweat and fever induces delusional dreams are quite horrible. I get night sweats cause I’m a 45 year old female and I get super crazy dream when I run a fever so I can only imagine what you’ve been through
