Aurie Satt Poem
Falling deeper in the well
No rope long enough to catch me
No key strong enough to unlatch me
No light to help me see
Breathing slower as I swallow
Too much water pulls me under
Too much lightning, too much thunder
No hands to set me free
Come help me climb, I'm sure to fall
Without a step or ladder
My swollen fingers getting fatter
My ankles bent and sharp
I'm falling deeper in the well
The blackness makes me lighter
Close my eyes; colors get brighter
As I sink into the Dark.

Aurie Satt Poem
No one touch me, I chip like glass
Pray the darkest night will pass
I’m to common to have class
Come take me home to midnight mass.
Don’t protect me, I can fight
Shielded eyes won’t block the sight
Crosses burning on the lawn
By the morning I’ll be gone
They can’t keep me covered up
Telltale lies are not enough
Try your best, my blood runs blue
You don’t know what I can do.
Dirty water, cleanse my soul
Ferryman will take his toll
Half dead, running to the light
Devil’s grip is still too tight
Leave me here, I have no heart
Lost and falling through the dark
Lightning strikes, I catch on fire
Throw the witch onto the pyre.
No one touch me, I chip like glass
Pray the darkest night will pass
I’m too common to have to class
Take me home.
