Who Is Knocking At My Door - Don'T Answer That
DON’T ANSWER THAT!!
That sound!!!
scratchy, tapping,
drumming,
at my door.
Unseen presence
silenced breath
scritching, scratching,
lightly tapping,
memos on
my unlocked door.
Reminders -
trembling moonlight -
distant daybreak,
far from sight,
dreams commandeered -
Pirate flags –
angel wings
lost in dark clouds,
tapping, tapping,
ever-rapping,
dead of night
or noonday napping,
rhythmic rumor
growing stronger,
knocking,
slowly knocking,
Life’s tick-tocking.
Last knock
cold knuckled rap
of “death’s” demand.
