POETRY IS WHAT THE SOULS OF THE ANCIENTS SPEAK TO THOSE STILL SEEKING WHAT IS MOST BEAUTIFUL IN THE WORLD. FROM: LINDA

Thank you to Nina, Gloria, Lee, and Erin for publishing my creepy Halloween piece in Sirens Call Ezine today!

Her Charcoal Cape

Her shadow-play,
thin and fleeting.
In a somber cloak,
an obsidian mantle,
obscuring, enshrouding
arms of great length.
The stygian wrap
disguises the glint of the blade.

She, on the streets of Whitechapel,
no need for ambush.
Who would suspect another woman,
who, while matching steps,
was indeed stalking women.
Searching abdomens
for her long-lost babe,

when grief has turned to madness.
