skeleton keys to fused locks
it's a mad dash
silent as a sleeping dream
slinking through brambles
lurking in underbrush
just another shadow blending unseen
a mirage in darkened corners
thoughts whisper
timid as a shriek
banshee wind & viper sting
zombie cradling beloved corpse of memory
such bittersweet shambles
trailing bits & pieces
littering chaos in piles left behind
remnants of constructs once known to be solid
now fallen
howling
haunted
hungry
bereft
seeking the familiar
the easy mark...and yet...
where now will home be found
when healing seals the scar
and entry is denied
