when the darkness comes
I dissolve
into the walls
the shadows that follow me
down hallways
become my cellmates
I shift within the structure
boards, plaster and nails
force me down
I am transformed
from bones and skin
my mind convulsing
I am the creaks and groans
of this empty home
held hostage
I am fire that burns it down
with shadows and ash
they will let me breathe
