Doom like fog combs through the Devil’s Backbone
Lengthening into strands of melancholy
Dampened by sweet…sweeter tears.
Feel the missing beats stolen by fright?
Awakening, arousing the most sound?
Night sweats and dreams,
Dreams lost to the living but for snags
Here and there.
Cross over the Devil’s Backbone
Back to earth,
Back to life.
