Exercise: Quiver and Quake

Silence

does not set

silence falls

silence

does not creep or crawl

silence falls

from the bluest sky

from darkest clouds

it creeps up

from the floorboards under your feet

in your very own house-

when all of the lights are off.

RDP Monday STUMP

Bats in my belfry

skeletons in my closet

monsters under my bed

something buried in the basement.

 

In every corner  in  every room

it’s a wonder you must see

that there is any space left for

my ghostly shadow and me.
