NOSTALGIA

memories look best dressed in nostalgia

parading doen a rosy lanr to offer you some token of wisdom

                       (ignore the glint of wet,            white teeth in the corner if your eye)

but some will wait below your windowsill

untill your breathing is deep enough

to cover the sound of their blades dragging over the floor.

                            (ptetend the shadows are standing still)

they will lay down beside you

          cheek to cheek 

                  nail to nail

               (cover your face

                 as the stench of something forgotten fills the room)

and curl themselves around your sleeping body

until you turn cold as

                 the grave you left them in.
