Closet
Hal Fuller |
||
Hidden Shamed Framed in darkness Locked door, whispery shadowed lust Trusting nothing, least of all self Joy shelved with dust and spiders Webbed in fear that next knock Will reveal all Caught! Known! Shown! Alone under sheet with secret ecstasy When all the other kiddies sleep Dreaming safely normal dreams Of daylight when and where and who And you fevered scream, doing Odd, dark night things Wishing wings could bear away This guilt, this pain While brain, soul twist and squirm Worm! Vermin! Cosmic ooze scraped off God's shoe. Knotted vile While all you're seeking Peeking out from darkened blind Is that measure of peace Others seem to find Try, deny, cry in anguish "Why? Me?" Purge. Bury. Cast away Walk away, back to little good boy-hood "I'll be good! I'll be good! Just don't let me hurt no more!" Purge. Splurge. Back to it all Back to the wall Back to the closet And secret horror shame. |
