Monsters prowl on imaginations
to send chills up and down
fragile spines like a pine needles
until shrieks wake the night
with the transparent Boogie Man
jumping out of walk in closets
without knowing the magical blanket
can remove His existence before
He can tag team with those monsters
chasing their playmates around and around
the house until they slide down a laundry shoot
into their parents awaiting arms and are wrapped...
in a blanket of love.
