I like the imagery you've provided the reader but in some places it's broken and doesn't come together well.
For example:
"that night when the horsemen
came, in the bedrooms
locked behind doors of dreams become
some other man's sweaty desire --
violence and rage.
we fell into tomorrow."
When reading this I can see the horsemen coming in but I don't see how "locked behind doors of dreams become..." This is where the work loses me.
You may smooth that out with something like this:
locked behind doors of dreams,
dreams that become some other man's sweaty desire..
Just a bit of revision would make this poem a much better read
Good work !
