Safe House

in #poetry5 years ago



attic windows of Crosses and Clams.jpg



There is no safe house,
No shelter from storms.


I used to think
I could hide in the attic
And all would be fine…

But I was wrong.

The arc light and roar
Blind and deafen.

Droplets splatter
Like dark cherries
Leaving a mess.

It’s scary…
Impossible to shut out.

It'd be easier
To stay in the basement—

Cloistered with my fears…

But I’ve grown accustomed
To the view from up here.
