knock (Free verse) by FreeFormFixation
if hesitation knocks at your door,
lock it up and pull the blinds
and wait for the wolves to clean off your porch,
now, my dear, it's just about time.
reel the line in, snag some weeds,
scrape along the murky bottom
wait for the fish to clump up with the leaves
and wind them all up every autumn.
and if hesitation knocks at the glass,
pull the blinds and lock the bolts
and wait for the wolves to snap up and grab
soon, my dear, we'll sleep in the coal.
if anger ever knocks at the ceiling
pull back the bricks from the unused fireplace
wait for her arms to strangle all feeling
out of your limp form as you fall through space.
