Creatures that Crawl
We no longer need to believe
in ghosts or creatures that crawl
out of myth and superstition.
We grow too old for all that.
Still, though, you want to believe
still want to think that something
is waiting closer than safety
for the moment when it can crawl
out of the darker shadows and on
into your unprotected mind
that lies open now, it has not protector
hiding in the beards of the clouds,
to take all that you dread in hand
and then twist the sky in anger
to destroy all that you want to fear.
