glinting sunshine
the yellowing leaves
broken waters

There are no monsters
I tell my children;
we drove them all away
until there is no more hiding.
No spaces under beds, or wardrobes
ir on the gaps between this life
and the darkness before or after.
All the monsters are out there,
talking to your insecurities,
promoting racism, queerphobia,
fear of the Other. You're safe here,
only the TV and the internet
to corrupt your sense of wellness.
