HORROR Poem: Deep Breaths, by Rachel Baker

Shadows
(they move)

Deep breaths
(can’t breathe)

Darkness swirls
(like the madness in my mind)

Deep breaths
(can’t breathe)

Name 5 things
(but it doesn’t go away)

Deep breaths
(can’t breathe)

Tree branches caress the window
(or scratching fingers)

Deep breaths
(can’t breathe)

What’s that sound
(just the wind, love)

Deep breaths
(can’t breathe)

Who said that?
