double back demon

the demon
walks up the street
rattles the gate
looks for loose fence boards

all secure
moves on
looking back 
a few times

the tired monk sweeps
watches the road

he's back 
same demon
different hat
different hoodie
walking in slow
from the other direction

the tired monk sweeps
watches the road

the demon curses

  1. Lot of depth here. A poem for our times, perhaps. Right and wrong. Good vs Evil. Like the tired monk we must stay vigilant and strong against those demons who want to rip away fence boards and steal our free hearts.
