I\u2019m worried about what happened today;
\nThese people, these catastrophes that slipped
\nDown the slope toward me that I couldn\u2019t
\n(Or wouldn\u2019t!) avoid. I\u2019m worried and maybe<\/p>\n
I won\u2019t sleep tonight. Maybe I\u2019ll dream
\nOf those faces, all twisted and wrenched,
\nLike dried fruit, fanged and hungry for
\nMy soul. Oh yes I\u2019m worried and anguished <\/p>\n
And suddenly I know how Satan was conceived;
\nWhere his scythe of retribution, his dagger of
\nMalice, wrathful horns on my own face,
\nPoking backwards into my curdling skull, came<\/p>\n
Into the universe; a fiction both horrifying and real.
\nHell exists. I built it. And I\u2019m worried I\u2019m going there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
