Quickly, Frantically

Poem (audio)

---

Quickly, frantically,

I run to you now

as I would

come Hallloween time

in a pitch black

haunted house

for anyone,

any hand to hold

and guide me through

Call it desperate of me.

I am.

I didn’t want to

feel this way.

But I’m taking this

shot in the dark

at you.

Tell me,

Are you scared too?
