Hold On to What You Know

A Halloween poem about the impossibility of shutting out the monsters within:

Hold on to what you know:

A tiny point of light.

Let the monsters be

Left slithering through the dark.

One by one they go,

Well kept well out of sight,

Even though we see

Each in fantasy.

Nor did they board the ark.
