The site sickens

The site sickens,
Bodies lying dismembered all around,
Smashed,
Crushed,
Cut,
Their insides spread across the ground,
The site sickens,
Its halloween,
And the pumpkins are out.

Night, knight

Night, knight, lit by a bright light.

Feather fall

The fire grins in the bright moonlight,
Blue leaves with drops of dew,
Shadows leap and twist around,
and the black feather falls,
slowly down.

Dark, dark day

I sit alone in my dark, dark room. And with a sudden thought, I sit. And as I sit my eyes turn grey. And as it turns toward the sunny day. I reach my hand, as I say, "Go forth my hand and blot the day." So darkness falls upon the day. And once again my eyes turn grey. Forever with the snowlight glistening. My hands will weave the gleaming of the dark, dark day.
