There's Something There

We take turns parading wildly
'round the city park.
Feelings on our faces
lit by cigarettes
after dark
Are we dead, or are we living
For tonight?
If we’re dead, then should I
quiver left and right?
Useless as the use for
crying in the endless rain
We turn and run back down
The alley just to find it
chained
This new dread-
is it for others
or for ourselves?
In my head or in the open,
it’s bitter hell.
There’s something there-
it stands and stares;
There’s something there!
I know what I saw.
“There’s nothing there-“
you stand and glare;
“there’s nothing there!”
I know what I saw;
in a word, it was despair.
Calling out your name
is just like breathing to me, now.
The others come and go;
they must be linked to light,
somehow.
Do I have time to whisper
“sorry”, before you go?
Are you gone,
or are you waiting
for the blow?
There’s something there-
it stands and stares;
There’s something there!
I know what I saw.
“There’s something there…”
you freeze and stare
“There’s something there!”
I know what you saw.
You don’t have to tell me
I knew it was coming
The only question was when
I still have to wonder
Where I went under
And how I’m just haunting you
...there's something there...

Creature Feature

I am the thing
that lurks and sighs
down halls at night;
come find me.
Are you awake?
Or just like me?
Stuck in between?
Let’s relate.
I am the
creature feature
‘cross the parking lot;
you’ve seen me.
Do you still quake?
Let’s cut your teeth-
they’ll bite with ease;
come join me.
Focus
on freeing your bones
from the sticks
and
stones
Humans
love listening lone
to our haunting
tones
You are the thing
that lurks and creeps
down city streets
in twilight
Approach their doors,
cross creaking porches;
Introduce your terror.
From cornfields
and cemeteries
to the crooked streets,
we’ve come here
in droves and in fleets
for the tricks
or
treats
