Uncanny Is a Space
Uncanny is a space which I avoid
I do not wish to meet with spirits vile.
Though with some men ,it’s true that I have toyed.
I dropped them all and sane was I the while.
Yet when I met your eyes so dark and strange
A force more strong than my own pulled me in.
A premonition that my life would surely change,
Before I knew your double,your dark twin.
In dreams and in my nightmares he will come
To capture me and take me to his land.
I do not know what choice to make of man
Nor how to count infinity by hand
The double is an augury of death
Yet in this space uncanny is a path
