There's a Cave in My Attic |
I’ve learned any electronics are useless |
Oil lanterns |
Maybe a burning newspaper if I’m low on oil |
The attic’s at the top, but the cave goes straight down |
I don’t really know how that works |
It’s not my job to know |
Apparently |
I’ve only gotten so far |
Maybe three hundred feet at most |
There’s nothing in there so far, but every step I take |
Fills me with more dread, more anxiety, more anticipation of something |
Something just ahead |
Or something just behind me, just above |
Somehow underneath |
In the walls |
I just can’t seem to walk any farther |
There’s one line of rocks |
One gate of pebbles formed by my stopping every time in the same spot |
Rationally and clearly I think to myself |
What’s different from any of the steps you took before versus that one? |
It’s just one more |
Maybe a couple more after that |
But there’s something unspoken |
Some yelling, some slicing, pinching |
That pulls me back out every time |
I locked the attic weeks ago |
My wife and daughter stopped yelling up to me |
