Kentucky Collection

when a child knocks (22/25)

7/13/2016

​when a child knocks on the fortress door— 
the nightlight makes her bedroom dance with things that want to eat her
—guilt pulls sticky limbs from the mess of sheets and mumbled kisses
​
it feels selfish to beg a place to remember me, just long enough until i can return to search for myself again
when all my grandfather can do is forget
