There is dog howl wind
behind that cold door
out there
where
all the stories
come true.
There are manic truants
running wild across
my back lawn
with
little hatchets
and bags.
There are sneaky smiley men
inside the TV box
greedy tongued
cold
begging money
and souls.
I will shut off the TV
let the dog in
lock the door
rock
creaking
dark
old
happy
safe.
