"thump"
The sound of feet in the hall?
The sound of the jackhammer in my
chest?
Where did it come from, this dark
feeling that steals my sleep?
What is this thing that makes me
fear the breeze?
Did you see that? A shadow moving
across the wall! "thump" Did you see the way it
looked at me?
No one sees. "thump"
No one but me. So I sink under the covers.
"thump, thump"
Wishing it away. "thump"
