Cerberus Junior

I was feeling lost so I called for my dog,

What came to greet me was a skeleton with white misted eyeballs,

It had no tail and the corner of its mouth was bleeding,

It looked like something straight out of Hades,

Not knowing what to do, I fled from the scene,

I could hear its clicking bones as it chased me to a ravine,

Here it was clear that it’d be him or me,

I prayed it would go away, but nobody heard my screams

And the dog bore down on me, a demon of the dream,

It knocked me down into the sand of the ravine

And I felt its rancid breath on the edge of my tunic

I wished to wake up, but alas it was too late,

For wake though I did, the dog had followed me from the dream
