Terror is not – Ed –
sitting in one’s piss.
I know – I’ve sat there –
I’ve slept there and did
most of my childhood.
That was warmth – in fact –
and comfort – in spite
of the unconcealed
unconcealable
smell. Terror? That was
and always will be
mother cursing Dad
and there there I am
alone in that night
hearing that door slam.
