Fear,
wound it's tentacles around my body
round and round
squeezing, suffocating
around my arms, legs and torso
its head resting on my hip.
Its black sticky ink preventing me from seeing.
So I walked the hallways of my home
with the added weight of an octopus-blinded
and let sleep lull me into its sweet embrace
the octopus by my side, subdued for now.
