My Night in Shivering Armor

He said that monsters and hunters Occupied his room. Searching for him. Lurking in the shadows Of train tracks And construction sites. Is anybody really safe? All I could do was Hold him. Each shiver Bubbling up on the surface Of his body Left me paralyzed. Each clattering tooth Was a reminder Of the empty basements And windowless, doorless rooms I shivered in once Or twice. I reminded him To let light linger In the shadows. Shivering ceased. The dark feels colder When you travel it alone.
