Q... Night

There's a wall around my bed.
You can't see it, but it's there.
I can feel it in my bones.
I could burst through if I wanted to
And run to Mummy
But I can't
Because I'm too old now
Too old for walls.
And I cant burst through
Because I don't know
What's inside it
And I'm scared to find out.
So I keep my hands on my stomach
And my feet inside the covers.
A rafter
Clinging on in sharky water.
There's a breeze tickling my toes
Where the cover doesn't quite
Do the job.
But it'll have to do -
Better cold than eaten.
I can stay still until morning
I can keep myself inside the lines.
I'm a hero. I'm Indiana Jones
Outwitting the Nazis.
I can save the Grail.
I can do it.
I can. I can.
But it's such a long time 'til dawn.
