Uncalled

Uncalled, quite uncalled, Stood the unexpected rap.rap.rapping, rapping at my door. Disaster’s specters blocked my way, As through the window slipped the unimaginable, While down the chimney howled the unthinkable, Hovering near, encircling, nailing windows shut, pulling all the shades blackening to black all within. Ah, yet to be sure, yes, yes, to be firmly absolute, To absolutely squelch any lingering shadow light... If be it there hiding, cowering and afraid... They so bespoke their chorus, echoing in solemn judgement: To waylay our stay there be no way, For many many days on days muchmany a day Here shall we be we be. Shall here we be. Uncalled. Uncalled we’ve come. Come to stay With you. Here. In the dark. In your dark.
