Incantation

A Poem by Kate Henderson

Torture tongue

Clambering claw

Rip in shreds

Deeper and deeper

Nightmare ghosts

Arch of skeletons

The bell clock tower rings

A single crow sings

Sunlight beams

Against a forest of dreams

Crooked earth

Against a straw filled sky

Places a hand across the hearth

Solace in silence

The hand that plays

Ever watchful as a murderer slays

Victim

Powerless in defence

Creeping amongst the shadows

As a shapeless menace
