Poem 11: Demons

The light is dim and growing darker
As my eyes wander aimlessly
I see hands grasping
And men floating
And shadows dancing across the room
I feel the caress of my body
As I fight away the feeling of a presence
And if I stay static too long
It becomes too real
But I urge myself not to sleep
Not even to  escape this
For the night is solidarity
And even if I'm not alone
I feel it
