Monster Maker

Monster Maker

An eggman, hollow and light.
No angles on his body
so he has to keep rocking
to not fall.

The evil twin
of your childhood babydoll.
Under the skin of her forehead,
a grid of eyes.
You never realized that she was
watching you from your bed
until now.

Monsters in jolly costumes
that no one knows are monsters
except for you.
Most clowns.
Santa Claus.

Scenes of desperation
and loneliness. A horse sinking
into the ground, and only
one small boy trying
to save him, no one else
there to help.
The dragon
crying in his cave.

They are not hunting you.
They want to be close
to the one
who made them.
