The Monster's Sweet Farewell

THE MONSTER'S SWEET FAREWELL

cold in guise, inflamed in eye, 

so stalks the child of the night

boundaries unbound in flesh repressed

unnatural nature, anomalous fright

opal cheek ensanguined 

ruby red, so move the dead

their heads, inbred, the porcelain bite—

the blood enthralled, forever fled

now run the veins of our desires; 

nocturnal creatures lap them free

in deep abyss of dark concave 

the harvest moon creates its slaves 

inspires children lost in lore 

a breath on necks bent back for more

and when the dark of churches' bells 

a-ring in spells occult and swells

of craving, not of saving, 

one who wants the misbehaving

here the white against your night  

here the monster's sweet farewell
