I tend to sleep
clutching my chest
my head under a pillow
to keep the monsters
from escaping


I would rather have them inside
feasting on my intestines
then abandon them to the night


That way I at the very least
have something to keep me
company
I wrote this many weeks ago at 3 AM.

It was a horrible night.

That's rather an intriguing concept - the monsters are not what the narrator is afraid of. They are comrades in the face of fear.

Congratulations on the DLD! :boogie:
