This Dark Necessity: A Poem about Horror, Monsters, and Balance
I need to know the witches
are there dancing a black-fabric
breeze beneath a silver moon.
The empty trees bowing their eves
and firelight shuttering
against their pigeon bones.I need to know the skeleton claws on the
floorboards in a half-empty mansion
with old paintings of withered men.
A half-made phantom of billowing
fabric points, with ruby eyes blazing
searching for a child to pull the covers tight.I need to know the wire-hair troll is humming
a pickling song of salt, vinegar, and glass.
A recipe for horses and men crossing
the cavernous underworld gap of
darkness beneath his cobblestone bridge.
He’s hungry for a taste.We need to know this hall
of horrors from dark books and tales.
They’re still needed, required, and celebrated.
Grim anchors on a ship of paradise
that if left unused will drift
into an unsustainable worldof uneven heaven and hell.
