Intended to ward off evil.
Hid so many monsters or that light
Could ward off evil but still
I ran up the stairs from the pool
In the basement without bottom
And I flicked on all the switches
In each room I passed through.
Even now, sitting alone in the car
With no headlights, no locks on,
I fumble with the ignition and imagine
A cold wind coming in before the hord
Hits, ripping and tearing at my skin.
Listen. Did you hear the crickets
And the bullfrogs go silent?
