Hi there! This poem first appeared in Permafrost.
Make Yourself Small
God will come in later, of this I feel certain.
Let’s consider the nurse Richard Speck
didn’t kill, the one that he bound who still
managed to hide under a bed, only to find
all the others stabbed in the eyes and breasts.
You wanted details, right? Hide under
whatever you can find, make yourself small.
Everyone finds something horrible in time.
Best to close your eyes. Keep them closed.

Safety is in size and with it more places to hide, yet at time we must reverse that no matter what fear we have and, become giants among men if for no other reason than to show the ignorant and the vain around us how small they truly are.
