'Deimos', Dragan Bibin, 2015. Oil on Linen.

Are you curious? When you nose the dark

It knows you back. It pulls and repels your ruff

And keeps your tail low. Tread light.

The fear of an open door. The terror in

the meaning of a well-worn lock and

A blank wall, holding nothing back.

Let the dog go first. Let its shadow

Stretch and paw. Ask no questions.

An answer, in itself, means ill.

Pastry chef by day, insomniac writer by night.
