DO NOT DWELL

Do not

dwell on things

until they turn macabre

or let too much

spit'n jackboot into

your ancestral meandering.

There in the forest

it is hard to even think

what Nietzsche said of the abyss

so much trade there

in blood, unobserved

comings and goings

but now

out of the proverbial nowhere

a house is to

appear

where they slice and

dice, attach stamps and

pass themselves off as

regular post office

thinking

as we knock on

the horror door how

in this genre truly

one size fits all

can be preserved as if fruit, left

bottled in the pantry

(which all

witches have, to

show evil in

abundance, more

hits there than porn)

Oh I

could make

one

singularly bad error

first-time (virginity lost)

unholy mistake

find myself at the peril of

supreme lethal purity

or

(such

are the choices) lost

forever in my own tale of darkness.
