Favorite Quote:
What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from. T.S Eliot


Listen can’t you hear?
Why don’t you hear them?
Don’t open the door.
They will find me.

Look can’t you see?
They’re moving silently and gracefully.
The light is shining off their slimy skin.
They’re going to find me.

Can’t you feel them?
They are tightening around you.
There ones on your neck!
Now that you’re gone they will find me.

They know where I am.
The hissing and rattling.
Their snake eyes have spotted me.
I’m found.
