The Images Churn

Most of us learn

to live with our demons

Seeing them coming

hearing their call

 

More in the night

when silence is running

Taking their place

to hide in the hall

 

Most of us learn

to live with our fears

More real when imagined

the images churn

 

Once they’re inside us

denial forsaken

To wed the dark moments

—whose effigy’s burn

 

(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)
