with strings of fear pulling each side.

in language so old its words croaked barely a whisper

from the cobwebs of unseen corners.

there in that evil smile.

a minute before the hour

of the door pulled open by the vacuum of the wind.

the tick of the crawling hand to liberate me

release. The owl at window brings only loss, loss, and you, my friend,

a ghastly screech, a flutter of wings freeze me in my pain.

sent to me -- the tomahawk presented in your pale hand

glowing like a fire in your bloody hand.
