A Nightmare

Two pisachas haunted me last night

Both short, one’s head dysfunctionally messed up

Like a burst peas sticking out of a pod

One eye hanging from raw nerves.

I was in my university hostel

They kept coming for me

They were omniscient

Never stopped coming for me, those demons

I ran from hostel to hostel.

Tall pisachinis also ran

Crossing my path

Their heads on fire.
