fingers grip my throat
in that dark liminal space
between sleep and life

Bruce Lee and The God of War: Kuan Ti
It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

Oh yes, the liminal space. My mind went there too! Great entry! Totally creepy! 👏🏽
This reminds me of sleep paralysis, the grey tone is all that is seen in that space too, well done capturing that haunting feeling.
Beautiful haiku! I love The contrast between "sleep and life".
Oooo, you mean like the sleep paralysis demon? Loved this@
Feels a bit like a Night Terror. I loved the careful phrasing of the final line that implies sleep equates to death. Well done.
This felt quiet, eerie, and suffocating all at once. Brilliantly unsettling.
Excellent use of liminal if you don't mind me saying 😁
This very frightening stuff.
