the maniacal screams that echo from the basement
chills a daughter to the bone marrow.

always carry your keys between your middle and ring finger

B O N E S
These are my bones-
Perfectly structured, pristine white.
Here, take my skull, that forever grinning phantom reminder,
And keep it in the gold chest that sits by your fireplace.
