Giant spiders in the basement
their huge, bloated bodies
scraping across the concrete floor.
Vampires at his bedroom window
tap, tap, tapping on the glass
with razor sharp fingernails.
Severed heads suspended in the darkness
their faces distorted with fear and menace
glaring at him from the foot of his bed.
None of these imagined childhood terrors
could compare to the lustful hands of an adult
reaching out for him in the night.
