      shelf one- the night watcher

      I’m not safe & don’t know if I’ll ever be safe.

      radio silence

      In the movies, silence is the perfect family home.

      It’s the small table in the middle of the kitchen

      with four chairs around the round table.

      The tables

      & chairs

      & cutlery

      & radio

      are pastel pink & blue.

      The house has four stories

      with a silver elevator

      next to the echoing wooden stairs.

      It’s the type of house to be in a home magazine

      you would skim through

      as you shop for the ideal dark brown rug,

      hunting its prey.

      You’ve always wanted
