A poem for Jackie.

ILUSIVE INTRUSIVE, Toying With My Mind
(PTSD Poem)
(c) 2017, Don Poss

I saw him die.
Watched his Spirit fly.
By dawn, his spirit wanders intrusively at will, and within.
By dusk, I try to sleep;
Eyes squeezd tight but wide awake
As dream plays out upon backside
of clinched eyelids--a game of chase.
I watched him shadow-away......
Prayers...not enough to sleep.
Helpless to rearrange the night of
wavering shadows...
Is that really what I saw?
Would they think me dingy dau if l
asked if they saw it to?
Best forgotten; left unsaid.
I don't want to remember what it seemed to be;
It's mostly all for naught and I pretend a pause...
waiting for the trip-wire...licking a midnight wound...
and with a leap
tag the unfocused-fool toying with my mind--
You're it!
and ran saucer-eyed into the dark.
