Palace

Thallo

Outside of the cold dancing and screaming,

The cutting of neon pink blades

Right through my sclera,

There is a palace,

Hidden away behind the rusted once-white tiles.

 

Its walls are made of the greyest stone,

Covered in the greenest moss,

The most twisted vines,

And the pinkest blossoms.

It stretches farther than I can imagine,

And every corridor I hadn’t noticed

goes on endlessly.

 

I have tried to map it,

But the more I try,

The bigger it grows.

And when I sleep there,

I hear growls in the distance,

Along with scratching 

And the shuddering of windows

It does not want me to stay.

 

And when I pry my eyes open,

The palace leaves me,

And I am hiding in the bathroom once more.
