Something to wish for........

death
something lurking
something hidden
away
the life
gave way
winding
winding
down the stairs
all along
the screaming
turning
round and round
present yourself
close
too close
beating
on the door
closed eyes
don't see
the cold
persists
beating
passing through
only
to stay
sit awhile
tell a story
listen
they'll be back
and
all the while
sinking
sinking
beating
let me in
repeating
pretending
not to hear
squint
and cover
your ears
pull the
covers tight
and close tonight
as the morning fades
quiver lips
bite the tongue
slow the breath
work the lungs
fall
heart
deep
it is
the appointment
that we
are all
destined
to keep.

Push
block
the basement door
he's hungry
for more

close the book
don't
it'll be
too late
there will
always be
an ending
like it
or not

clip
cripple
cripple
fall
fall
shield
down
kneel
starve

small
the delicate
unobtainable
secret
sweet
blood rich
patter
and beat
how quickly
the sun rises
bright beacon
wandering light
lost ripples
on a starless night

Walk (k)
drink the water
it'll only hurt
for a second
so brief
like a knife
passing through
water
bent slowly
let it all
sink

sideways
rip tweed
the purpose
of survival
what bridges
made sour
stop recoil
sweet dignity
how blue
your eyes
are
