In the darkness. The room condenses.
Collapses inward , inside a sleepless crumbling mind.
The space under the bed has become unbearable.
There should be a stillness...
should be .
Spoiling milk smell,
horrid.
Wet dragging
wretched limb twisting motions
tree branch shadowed , caught in between the lightnings’ bluish flashes.
Glimpses..
Something.
Perhaps pulling itself along
a fresh trail
unmistakable
on the old weathered floor boards.
There and then
not. A reflection in the shattered mirror.
...something … almost vibrational, twitching.
The glint of an eye, maybe
too large
unforgivably white,
too still to be
real .
The maddening scritching spastic sound of it
Too near,
too frequent…
The knife.
Yes ,... yes,
the knife...
