A Morbid Child
A morbid child with hair gone wild
And teeth like snaggled fences
Became obsessed and snowy tressed
And sought distorted senses

With cloak of black and cloven track
He slinks through brightest day
Out searching shadows, lairs of widows
Places light won't stay

He likes such places, cobweb traces
Caves where none should be
He looks for niches, nooks all rich
With shadows neath the trees.

Would he be right to walk at night?
And never day embark?
But night in day's the only way
For one who fears the dark.
