Happy Halloween!
For this day of scare fests, we travel the forest path, far into the darkness…
Calling You
A single voice.
A sweetling voice.
A treble tone, and sing-song notes, of joy and giggling.
A voice to dance among the treetops and sing among the
posies. A voice that calls, Come hither,
come hither. It’s a beautiful day. It beckons and you will follow.
You will follow it off the safest path, and within the
darkest woods. You will follow past the perfume scents and through the sharpest
thorns. You will follow though the sun has set and the night is always met. You
will chase the voice around the trees, and see them all appear. Their yellow
eyes, their sharpened teeth, their fetid whispers in your ear.
And then the voice, that sweetling voice, that voice will
call your name.
It will sing your song, your final song, and then your life
will end…
With a screaming voice.
Your single voice.
Buried Bones
I miss the warmth of the sunlight.
It is too cold and dark buried here beneath the earth.
I miss the sounds of laughter, of my sweet children’s voices.
Interred deep, I hear nothing save the scrabbling of mice
and insects.
I miss the moon, I miss the stars, but not the night.
Without eyes, I live in darkness.
I miss the smell of perfume on my skin. I miss my skin.
Would that I could turn back time.
Would that I could live again.
But I am nothing but murdered bones.
Trapped and forgotten under the forest soil.
