Warlocks
they led to a place through a hole in the ground
where I could sing with the demons
the walls were cold and the feeling alone
was something hard to place
it moved with me within it
and the sky was a blur of sound
the gargantuan, seismic, blue wonder
where they drew plumes and smiles in the cloud
I then erased all I knew of the world
when the shadows provided only nonsense
music reverberated and clutched me
mad faces contorted through smoke
they led to a place through a hole in the ground
and I’ve never returned since that day
they proclaimed that I’m one of their brood now
despite the shaking I’ve no reason to worry
