Try,Try Try

[sweetsaurian]

my favourite thing to do
in the night
when the sun is not
for us
is to watch
over the sleep of Paul.

When bad dreams
come out from his
broken record player,
fly out from that bay window
that he likes to leave open
so the wind can come in,
the door that houses the hallway
also has it's share.

of course none
of those evil bad dreams have a
chance
and none of them have learned yet
that there is an alligator
that has taken up residence
and they come
not knowing.

I am the sword of damocles
hoevering over their bad heads
and I hunger.
