The Master's Mansion

Behind closed doors

Are heaps of gore;

Snapped skeletons, stripped

Skin, red ruckus seeping from

Les fleurs.

Tinted pink and white carpets

Line the narrow passageways

Steps pitter-patter

Stomp and grind.

Creating dark tracks

Mudmarks

And footprints of how the

Ghost-people walk.

The kitchen is property of Him.

The dangerous force that only stirs

To bake us- dinner

He says, it's to die for.

I try not to take words so

Literally.

Last night my friend Suzy ran away….

Then we ate Salmon.

He said it would make me feel better.

I grieved with vomit.

The red chunks of hair made my sobs wetter.

Now I'm hiding.

I can hear him stomp up the

Stairs while I'm writing

Calling my name

Wishing me to play also

His sick twisted game
