The Revenant Awakens

Thought

safe you were

even 

with dreaded fear

hear

wolves howling

baying 

broken moon

mist 

floating low

eyes

feral glow

staring

shivering 

weep

tears of urine

down your leg

stands before you

her eyes

dead

her hands

hooked

her neck

broken

grinning

deranged

haunting your dreams.

Waken

shivering 

listen to creaking door

ice cold

wind sweeps

through window 

just closed.

Peek 

tented blanket

seeking protection

see not the haunt 

stood above you

feel only

slimed finger

down nape of neck

fetid breath…..

caress alcohol veined cheek

clackety clack

skeletal fingers

grip

breath caught…..

giggles of a little girl

whispers.
