Dark Tale

calf lamb goat fowl
they live near here

Jane Lane date rape
maul rend tear ream
stop kiss wink wink

have some fear
they will come raid your home
tear your pant
bite peck roar howl

raid tomb
dead womb
exit from baby boom

don’t pout
past
done
ride over

mute ears hear
deaf eyes view

true cost
love dies

rake coal into fire
warm room
cook pink meat into stew
bone tips
spin like tiny tops

snow falls
bird bath ices over

they said

seal that room
move away from that path
push past fear

live past hate

lean into love

time will heal
time will heal

tale ends
