Fan Fiction ❯ Red Moon ❯ Red Moon ( Chapter 1 )

I flew by your house that summer night

And the moon was red, as though banished from hell,

And a few trees stood gnarled in your pretty back yard;

They would grow from fire, and be black.

.\

.\

My ears on the wind were as ears that search

Under wild stories of times to come;

And one word stood vacant on the pages

On which you could find the most of my hate.

.\

.\

The frown on my face was living

Decayed enough to starve for strength,

And a shiver of doubt hung in the darkness

Like a wondrous, hidden snake.

.\

.\

And now, vague memories that sorrow reveals

And caresses, with certainty, have set me free.

My body, and devil-banished moon, and charcoal

And a crumbling house.
