Voices

Two talking heads
tugging on our strings.
Marionettes
learning how to sing.

You must be afraid
You must not engage
Voices in your head

We go to bed,
they’re in our sheets.
They’re over your shoulder
and under your feet.

You must be afraid
Of all we have made
Voices in your head

You must be afraid
You must not engage
You must be afraid
Voices in your head
