New; Knew

I Don’t Know If Its New,

But I Do Know It Was New To me;

Nor Had I Ever Heard

Such a Thing Described To me.

For I Don’t Believe

They Are From This World or Any Other.

Demons Ripped From Another Dimension;

Nightmares Rendered Real.

Crazy I Know.

That Is Why I am Writing This,

Because Only On Paper

Can I UnLeash

This Torrent of Conflicting Emotion.

To Try To Make Some Sense of It,

To UnBurden my Mind,

Because Sex & Drink

Just Doesn’t Make It.

the First Time

I Was Drifting Through Some Southern Towns

& I Came Upon It,

In a Glass Case;

a Human Brain

With Filaments

Like Spiders’

Legs

& It Spoke To me,

In my Brain of Its Need to ImPregnate me.

I Escaped & Returned to Kill It

& Its Keeper.

Once Again

When I Was Working

As a Carny In a Run Down Town,

I Dealt Death to Another

In the Visage of An InSane Clown.

Nothing In the News Papers,

No Bounty On my Head;

I Know I Killed Them;

I Know Their Dead.

I Don’t Want to Go Back;

I Don’t Know If I Should.

Scared,

Edgy,

Shot Gun By the Bed;

Crazy,

MayBe;

I Can’t Get Them Out Of my Head.

I Can’t Stay I Have To Go.

Wait;

What Was That,

a Knock On the Door.
