Day 3—Evil

There’s something evil in the air tonight:
The neighborhood struggles
I twitch with the anxieties of thousands off to holiday
With a time of consuming comes purging, too
Old deeds, new guilts, past secrets
The snaggle-toothed monsters we wished to keep silent come straggling
to the surface
Living in lack, fired in mire
They tell us to reach out to our kin during this time, because normally
it is the time of death
And of control.
Maybe even of slavery.
Your transgressions will not be forgiven.
