Domicile

I am far too old
to be a damsel in distress
ensconced in a fairy-tale castle.
My style is more Baba Yaga hut,
all skulls, bones, chicken legs.
Let me prowl and claw
through the dark, dense forest
and wander through the underworld.
I follow the threads
and maps of darkness.
When the temple keepers ask,
"what rough beast slouches toward Bethlehem?"
I whisper,
"Only me."
