Day 5 - NaPoWriMo - Do I dream a dream worth a dream?

This poem was inspired by the day 5 napowrimo.net prompt for national poetry writing month.

My words and phrases that I chose: "gradually becoming a disaster", overture, wool

I'm writing a poem a day in the month of April. Write with me!

Do I dream a dream worth a dream?

Sandpaper against wood,

wool against skin,

serrated blade into viscera,

vice grip on a throat.

What future is this,

If we’re afraid to speak?
