Shh, Don't Tell Mother, My Brother

Lying on the bed,

Eyes closed in peace

A low growl grows

He blinks tired eyes open,

Only to see nothings there


He lays back down

The growling comes again

He sits up again


Still, nothings there

Annoyed, he lays down again

No more sound hits his ears

Until morning


When the rooster crows,

A whisper comes from the

other side of the door


'Keep my secret. I killed sister.'


He sits up and stares at the door

Like it's a giant bear


Now, lost in the fog

Alone in the deep

Bound by a promise

That he couldn't keep,

He stumbled out of bed

And straight for breakfast
