Should I lock the door behind me... <br />Shut questions out... <br />Satin pillowcase dreams... <br />Spirits walk in the bedroom... <br /> <br />My Father carries his pool cue... <br />My Mother, her dish towel... <br />Many years. Time stops... <br />Memories wet the pillowcase... <br /> <br />Tennessee, my beautiful wolf... <br />Tiptoes to my bed... <br />Touches her cold nose to my cheek... <br />Tickles with her eyelashes... <br /> <br />I didn't lock the door... <br />Pillowcase is dry... <br />Morning pools of sun... <br />Light fur, chalk dust on the floor.<br /><br />elysabeth faslund<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/answered-questions/
