The Incubus
When misery left, I missed it dearly. Numbness arrived in its place--an evil lurking miles below sorrow.
Then the Incubus came. His fingers soothed me, dancing like spiders across my back, before plucking me from my flesh.
Exquisite melodies escaped his mouth instead of language. I understood every word.
He held me on his fist, soaring me to gloomy, lilac clouds. My body quaked, and it began to rain.My thoughts fluttered like butterflies. He captured them; sang my own song back to me.
Sadly, he was just a dream; but the Incubus cured me, bringing back my misery.
