Poetry Chapbook 11


Revelations

She listened to the noises
she sheltered from the smell
she watched the ghosts parading past
but never went to Hell.

She touched the bones of people
who climbed from coffins damp
conversed with ghouls and ogres
who asked to share her lamp

And though they tried to scare her,
dripped blood upon her bed,
they never tried to hurt her
but made her tea, instead.
