secrets and closet doors
They'll come out eventually | for Natasha's Calling all Poets! Challenge
***
i toss my secrets into closets
hoping they hide in the corners
with the spiderwebs and tumbleweeds
but they're crawling up the walls
attaching themselves onto my clothes
and although i brush them off
pieces of my secrets are starting to show
to those who pay attention
[get it off, get it off, get it off]
but otherwise i'm good at hiding them
even though it's getting harder to close the door
***
but the thing about doors
is there are spaces
where the wood doesn't touch the floor
making it easier to open
and for the secrets to come out

A Letter to the Firestarter
Dear Firestarter, We can all see you, we've been watching you since you began. In case you didn't know we were here before you and we will be here after. We witnessed your rise, your setbacks, your guilt and your lies. We witnessed you start the fire.

Such striking imagery! Loved this, Alexandria!
skeletons don't always stay in the closet
Wow! pieces of my secrets are starting to show to those who pay attention [get it off, get it off, get it off] This was fantastic.
