grandfatherly glare

He stared at you with spite.

You, in all black and cracked. Screen. Solitaire. Remnants of a night's nail. Knight. Long and thin. Stringy. Downward face. Focus.

He, unnoticed to you.
He. Didn't blink.

Speared with his sight, you.

I.
Fought back.
Peer and
pencil.

Ravenous graphite.

Grandfather.

Like a bat. Quick. You, flew.
Away.
With stealth.

Another came. A new you.
Desire to cross. words. Dead pen.
Try and try.

Silent. I, dug.
Without eyes.
Without ears
Without audible
words.
I handed

you a candy cane to complete. To keep.
Dull point.

A new you.

Still me.

and still him,
staring.
