There Were Wolves On My Door I'm Locking Them OutA Poem by Elizabeth Deane
Dragging that tongue down
Down Even downer into the floorboard Where she sat and slept her head On God's dirty Earth when her Nape was rearranged Barking on the door As though it opens But no one is there Except for a hand covered In placentas , multiple layers dripping down and Demon mouths below , catching It and gulping Tasting sulfur And Children Aunts locking doors Hiding doors Opening doors Storms coming The sound again "Wrath wrath God Hell Love" Slamming its head against The porch Coming, clean up Maybe the edge at the end Pulling it out and pulling the nestles from Home. © 2021 Elizabeth DeaneAuthor's Note
