Over the Fence

secrets buried in the night
out of mind, out of sight
searching for the cache to stow
while you sleep and nightfears flow

nakdthoughts compute in mind
to swell the thoughts of furry find

hidden reptiles all the more
legless crawling 'cross the floor
beneath and over under coiled
dreams of pleasure to be foiled

nakdthoughts to rise in mind
creatured by a slippery find

conceal those insects segments all
crush their spirit, let them fall
beyond the dreams that bug each night
frightened by the nightmares bite

nakdthoughts to seize the mind
in wonder each of hidden find

return me to those counting sheep
allow me then to go to sleep
without those thoughts that nightmares play
dream me soft 'til night turns day

nakdthoughts to lullabye
to still the dreams where nightmares lie


M...inspiredby that mouse of mine and a gloomy idea

Hide the mice in closets in cabinets in dark
listen to their scraping quiet as you walk
then they start in little moves as you still
in your sleep it’s their moves your nightmares fill

Hurry scurry across nightmare passage.

Hide the snakes under the sofa and bed
Make them poisonous to tempt me to dead
As I wake touching cold floor with bare feet
Perhaps to a gentle fanging will greet.

Hurry scurry across nightmare passage.

Hide all those centipedes and water bugs
Let them wiggle beneath my bedroom rugs
To crunch lightly as I walk in waking
Add delightfully to nightmare’s making.

the counter poem,
so that others can see what it mixed with before.
Yours stands well alone.

Maureen,
Last night, my roommate showed me where some black widow egg sacs are hanging from under the roof at the side of the house. So I know what you mean!
