Man At The Door Poem by Dillon Gay

Man At The Door

Rating: 4.4


Late last night or the night before
There was a man standing at my door
I didn't know who he was or what he was doing
For his breathing was as harsh as a possessed baby's cooing

I noticed he had an axe in hand
And walked like a broken rubber band
I was scared, who wouldn't be
Filled with panic, I couldn't see

I opened my mouth as if I had something to say
But nothing came out because I knew I would die today
My body got cold, preparing to die
In an instant the man disappeared with a sigh

In my room feeling no pain
It must have been a dream, I wasn't insane
I am floating over my bed surrounded by a white beam
Looking down at my body, ripped from its seam

You have certainly followed your imagination and 'run with it' in a highly original way in this strange hallucinatory poem. Quite the Alice in Wonderland happening methinks. Thanks for sharing. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
