Fear Fever

In the quiet dark I see
every end

Clumps of hair stuck 
to the walls

blood from under each door

there is someone in the closet, lurking

I feel it

delicacy is lost in my heart
I was made from violence
raised of violence
will end in violence

I have long cradled the bullet in the teeth
