Seeing Things
by Beau Cameron
Hands
around my neck
Nails
scraping down my back
Eyes
following my steps
It’s all in my head.
Koi
swimming in the lights
Figures
dancing on the wall
Flowers
blooming from your lips
It’s all in my head.
A girl
standing in my room
A boy
watching from my yard
A woman
right in front of me
It’s all in my head.
Spiders
(Mile long legs, body of shadow)
trailing a friend
Cats
(Empty sockets, peeling flesh)
scratching at the window
Something
(Blood in its mouth, arms dragging)
pressed against my door
It’s all in my head.
And you wonder why
I have trust issues.
