Being on your own being intimate with oneself in silence and still... ...enables the monsters to emerge from their shadowy places, to egress from their hidden agendas, from their porcelain, painted masks... out into the free air to indulge in one's fresh flesh... much like monsters who hide in closets. And you'd call Mother and swear and swear you could see, hear, smell them in full in that ****** dark thing with the creaking door... but when you implore Her to look, she finds nothing but a fluffy stuffed pink bunny... But O She leaves again and there they are. Ready and salivating to reveal their evil templates and in all their glory watch you squirm over the knowledge. And they watch you, tell you things about yourself- things you've tried to ignore all this time...

The Monsters of the Intimate Self.
Being on your own being intimate with oneself in silence and still... ...enables the monsters to emerge from their shadowy places, to egress from their hidden agendas, from their porcelain, painted masks... out into the free air to indulge in one's fresh flesh... much like monsters who hide in closets. And you'd call Mother and swear and swear you could see, hear, smell them in full in that ****** dark thing with the creaking door... but when you implore Her to look, she finds nothing but a fluffy stuffed pink bunny... But O She leaves again and there they are. Ready and salivating to reveal their evil templates and in all their glory watch you squirm over the knowledge. And they watch you, tell you things about yourself- things you've tried to ignore all this time...
