Poem
Alone I sat quiet quiet as a mouse In the shrieking creaks of my old and broken house Watching shadows warp and twist and turn upon the wall Hearing haunting howls howling begging screams for more “lies don’t suit our fretful baby Masks of white turning redder lately Keep it hush hush quiet darling we’ll do your deeds for fun For blood is blood and bone is bone when the devil welcomes one” One down one down settling unease Secrets held with chains of gold never to be released Shovels dig and toss and dig and earth itself uncovers Shades give way to darker depths and strengthen other lovers “Lies don’t suit our fretful baby Masks of white turning redder lately Keep it hush hush darling and we’ll do your deeds for you For blood is blood and bone is bone when the devil welcomes two” Two down two down settling into ease Feverish eyes try not to see fiendish deep set pleas The sun comes out revealing night, the star caught in the red The sun itself at least already seems to have been bled “Lies don’t suit our fretful baby Masks of white turning redder lately Keep it hush hush darling and we’ll all contain our screams For blood is blood and bone is bone when the devil welcomes three” Three down three down solitary peace Peaceful souls on fire in the heat of their disease Starlight too shows light in flooding, every light revealed Light switches broken eyes are blinded and fates are easily sealed “Lies don’t suit our fretful baby Masks of white turning redder lately Keep it hush hush darling and we’ll keep you steady too Four bones are gold and blood is bled when the devil welcomes you.”
