as I wake and turn the knob
my throat constricts
I choke
preconceived filtered fear
flurries as a shadow step
on the creaky floor
beyond the bathroom
faucet water runs
drip drip drip
splatter
no no I will wait
first dun shines through the window crack
door unlocks
no worry no fear
It's day now right?!
what's in the sink
twisted brown plastic bag
wrought of dare- do I guess
around the corner from outside
"not I" said the stinky pig
as she ran away to the house of straws..
