i am a
hermit crab
uncomfortable
in this too
large skull
seeking some
sort of
sanctuary
from the storms
that rage
without
reflecting
the tsunami
raging within

i need
a different
shell
to keep my
ragged apologies
and need to
please
in check

a hobo
hopping
trains that
lead to
anywhere
but here
headed to
a home
i have never
seen
decoding glyphs
scrawled
on bathroom
stalls
warning of
the dangers
trapped
inside this
bonehollow
dreamthistle.
