She asks me if I am afraid to sleep alone
fear of what lurks in the woods, in the dark,
or beneath the lake. I slide into my home on the edge of the witching hour
head to clouded to ponder what if's or could be's.
I don't allow myself the time to reconstruct boogeymen
the shadows on the faces of supposed lovers and friends
are sharp enough to draw blood.
