“50 Words for Poe: dactyl”



When Terror Fell came
he had no complaints

the joint was jumping
it was do or dare
he offered Her his old pear
the porridge here was so glum

She closed the door 
to the window of his cell
and sucked on Her plum

She was thinking, a dangerous thing in itself, indeed,
that next time peaches, not pears would be fun 
She’d tighten his straight jacket some
fingers and toes to be free

She’d observe him for a while
there was the pressing issue
of The Others let loose on the run  
joie de vivre, gone all bat**** wild

there was still the report to write
an extra dose of Laudanum prescribed
She’d blindfold him and buzz him electric
then instruct him to write poems didactic

delusions of grandeur 
fingers and toes playing piano
with the other dementors to be denied
he was manic - full of too much ego and arrogant hurt pride

All in a day’s work
He was safe in his cell
or so he thought ...

counting numbers
the seconds tick by

he'd gladly wait 
for Hell's Bride

(LadyLabyrinth/2019)

“In the window full of sunlight
Concentrates her golden shadow
Fold on fold, until it glows as
Mellow as the glory roses.”

“Silver dust
lifted from the earth
higher than my arms reach,
you have mounted.
O silver,
higher than my arms reach
you front us with great mass;
 
no flower ever opened
so staunch a white leaf
no flower ever parted silver
from such rare silver;  

O white pear
your flower-tufts,
thick on the branch,
bring summer and ripe fruits
in their purple hearts.”
(H.S. 1886 - 1961, The Pear Tree)

"before I am lost, 
hell must open like a red rose 
for the dead to pass"






For the Lost, out of their cell still serving time in Hell.
