The manic within me

a bejeweled pithy pity that pretties itself with mental confetti and touts crystal clarity

So it can destroy every notion

when the shadow comes knocking and the shutters start closing and it sticks its nose in

and the next thing you know

it’s prying up floorboards so it can expose

the blood and the bones 

while it rips off the skin but leaves on the clothes

as it spins the same record and says

welcome home
