I swallowed a Brick House

Where I laid the Weary Fears to

Rest

turned to Demons in the Night

in the light of day they banged

their Fists against the walls

I carried on

The moat swam with Bloody

barons

trading fish for memories

I put the weary to bed

Sliding suddenly in their eyes

Sit tight for a while

Brick house swam in icy

chamber

knocking holes in the walls

and out

swam the fish

Gave way to jagged edges and

comfort sheen removed

Slipped away into the Deep

I thought all was Lost

and

Rejoiced

An iceberg sank the Titanic

jagged edges

Ripped me from bow to stern

I’m left wanting

How can I

carry

on

All that I

wanted is lost

Perched on a raft

Center of cold lake

silver flashes dart

the distance to shore

Vise tightens
