| 13 | ## I | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | | I hear [the rats][] run | ||
| 16 | | in the walls like water | ||
| 17 | | through a tree. My blood | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | | thickens. As I dream | ||
| 20 | | the masturbation dream | ||
| 21 | | the shelf above my bed | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | | falls covering me in | ||
| 24 | | dirt and decaying beetles. | ||
| 25 | | [I see my reflection is headless][]. | ||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | ## II | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | | When the waves stop | ||
| 30 | | [and the moon grins down][] | ||
| 31 | | to overtake me: the car | ||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | | ran up the street that night | ||
| 34 | | when you were nearly | ||
| 35 | | molested in your neighbor's house: | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | | is this why we don't have | ||
| 38 | | neighbors? For this the trees | ||
| 39 | | [rot only for us][]? | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | ## III | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | | I woke screaming and you | ||
| 44 | | came to sit next to me. I felt | ||
| 45 | | my eyes were open too wide | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | | that I could not shut them | ||
| 48 | | from the horror movie sitting | ||
| 49 | | on your lap in the easy chair | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | | in the dream the other dream | ||
| 52 | | in the living room under | ||
| 53 | | the tree. Why do I feel guilty? | ||
| 54 | |||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | ## IV | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | | I wake up in a pool of water | ||
| 59 | | [closed over me like an eyelid][]. | ||
| 60 | | There is no longer comfort | ||
| 61 | |||
| 62 | | in staring at the ceiling. | ||
| 63 | | Its pitch blackness beckons | ||
| 64 | | into a future of blankness. | ||
| 65 | |||
| 66 | | My body lay still quaking. | ||
| 67 | | My mind is chained fast | ||
| 68 | | to the beating of my heart. | ||
| 69 | |||
| 70 | ## V | ||
| 71 | |||
| 72 | | I sit up slowly creaking. | ||
| 73 | | I find myself alone buried | ||
| 74 | | [in an ocean][]. Far off | ||
| 75 | |||
| 76 | | [there is an eagle][] flying | ||
| 77 | | toward me. She lands on | ||
| 78 | | my knee and lays an egg. | ||
| 79 | |||
| 80 | | I think *not this again* | ||
| 81 | | something I've never | ||
| 82 | | thought in my life. | ||
| 83 | |||
| 84 | ## VI | ||
| 85 | |||
| 86 | | I think *not this again* | ||
| 87 | | something I've never | ||
| 88 | | thought in my life. Not | ||
| 89 | |||
| 90 | | after losing my car keys | ||
| 91 | | in the easy chair. Not after | ||
| 92 | | scratching myself on a branch. | ||
| 93 | |||
| 94 | | Not after finding the thing | ||
| 95 | | in your dresser drawer that | ||
| 96 | | night. [I remember you suddenly.][] | ||
| 97 | |||
| 98 | |||
| 99 | ## VII | ||
| 100 | |||
| 101 | | [You run through me | ||
| 102 | | like rats][rats] down an alley. | ||
| 103 | | You are in my [blood][]. | ||
| 104 | |||
| 105 | | You scared me once | ||
| 106 | | remember? Jumped out | ||
| 107 | | of the bathroom door. | ||
| 108 | |||
| 109 | | I fell screaming onto | ||
| 110 | | the linoleum. Did you | ||
| 111 | | apologize? Did you need to? | ||
| 112 | |||
| 113 | ## VIII | ||
| 114 | |||
| 115 | | The ocean that surrounds me | ||
| 116 | | creaks like a rocking | ||
| 117 | | cradle. Your face bright | ||
| 118 | |||
| 119 | | as the moon at eclipse | ||
| 120 | | and as [red][]. Low song | ||
| 121 | | my tide stretching | ||
| 122 | |||
| 123 | | to the horizon. Ripples | ||
| 124 | | on the surface belie | ||
| 125 | | something bigger beneath. | ||
| 126 | |||
| 127 | ## IX | ||
| 128 | |||
| 129 | | In bed I am alone for | ||
| 130 | | the only time. In bed | ||
| 131 | | I am a grown man. | ||
| 132 | |||
| 133 | | Below the blankets I | ||
| 134 | | know you for who you are. | ||
| 135 | | In bed I see your face | ||
| 136 | |||
| 137 | | pressed against the window. | ||
| 138 | | I look out and see you | ||
| 139 | | and I am not afraid. | ||
