Don’t Let It Win
written by: Jane Bradshaw
It dwells
Deep deep down inside
Insidious and evil
Peeking out through slits
Don’t lie awake
But don’t let it in either
Close your heart
Bolt the doors
It’s still there
Pulsing pulsing greedily
Trying to tear the fabric
Between your worlds
Keep moving forward
Don’t let fear dictate
What could be there
Slippery as a snake
It’s getting closer
Bang bang it beats
Against the membranes
That separate you
Underneath your skin
Translucent and pale
Beats the heartbeat
Of a fierce warrior
