A Halloween poem about horror as part of our nature:
Horror is a color in our
rainbow,
A chimerical, spectral
inner arc of black.
Light bursting through the
prism of our dreams
Lingers as a set of
separate beams,
Of which pure terror is a
prominent track,
Where we may feel our
bones freeze to the marrow,
Exercising instincts else
gone slack.
Nor does all truth lie
tucked between two seams.
