Faced with monsters Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Anoucheka Gangabissoon Written 6/24/2026
When you're faced with monsters in a small space Of claustrophobic dread of darkness, a crawlspace, It stalks the quiver, narrow graves' breaths of fear. Strangling the heart's soul as it swallows a tear. The whimper within the small casket adheres. Until you stab the caged beast inside, resolve. It feels safe when the darkened cage dissolves.
