The Fear of Tomorrow

Samanvi M. 2010 (Connecticut)

Free verse
It stands 'round the bend
Bearing blunt-tipped knives
Or flowers for the lucky twosome
When It visits my dwelling,
It sits in a corner,
Counting the addled days

Every few weeks, it'll give me a smile
An eldritch, bloodcurdling grin
I can do nothing, but smile back
Silenced, by a wordless din
