it stares
fingering your veins
gnarling at your throat
clawing at your stomach
watching, always watching
waiting, ever waiting
so patient.
cross the street
it follows
plucking at your heart
skittering in your mind
gnawing on your ankles
look behind, look away
walk faster, climb higher
so frantic
still there.
watching, always watching
waiting, ever waiting
shut the door
close your mind, scream.
multiplication tables
fractions.
Bits of songs
nursery rhymes.
Ashes, ashes
the walls come down..
find a rope
cut the cord
watching, always watching
waiting, ever waiting
fast awake
don't watch back
only one way to look
one to see..
past.
eyes wide shut
closed with coins
sockets dim
memory forgotten.
but The Fear
moves on
lives.. on
in him
in her
in you
in us.
watching, always watching
finding,
always finding.
