In the darkness Underneath the stairs,

Demons lurk.

They have lurked

There since I was

A child.

 

 

They haunted my childhood,

Chased me along

Countless corridors,

Countless corridors,

Lined with mirrors

And untold childish fears.

 

 

Now I

Am all grown up

But they are still

Lurking there

underneath the stairs,

In the darkness.
