Knocks on the door
with the shaking
handle of it,
they were inside,
aggressively desiring
to be let out.
I can't keep them in.
the door is too
weak to hold them out.
I've blocked the closet door
yet they're shaking it away...
I don't know
how long
I can let the
monsters of my
past be kept
inside the closet
of my mind.
