The Basement is a Psychological State




and the psychiatrist, directed you, "Go there.
But go alone.

Meet the demon."
I hate him for that.

It was too much, for you,
atremble with nightmares
alone at the end of your life
in the middle of your life.

I run my hand, here now,
along this brittle wallpaper.
I feel lives, and ours, flake away
under touch.  But that is not
the scary part.

Ahead is darkness
never-ending,
just there
or pulling us closer.

In time, we all enter, seeing nothing,
not even our own boundaries of self

sense: presence

We can hear him
breathing.

At some point
Erubus will speak.

We wait for that.

There is nothing else to wait for.
