Hide

breathing
loudly.
never
has heart
pounded
against chest
with such
noise.
"they are coming"
I whisper,
but it seems
like a scream.
"hide! run!"
I order
with as much
urgency
as one can
say while
whispering.
hide-
all that I want
to do.
let mommy &
daddy & the
other adults
take care of it
while I hide
under the
covers,
fearful of
monsters.
monsters,
I think.
scaring my
children.
so much
they have to
understand.
and as I grip
the table,
someone,
or something-
knocks on
the door.
