A Place to Hide

by James C. Morehead

 

light from upstairs

the third floor closet

door open

small hole hatchway leading out

climb up on a wobbling chair

as paint chips catching

                                cut

 

darkness flows down

an invisible wind

beating

in time

inside

 

standing now

an open space

no more darkness

no more wind

i can breathe

i can see

a place to hide
