Replying to a comment on:
The Long Walk Back (Ode) by Jigg
Caped, I walked twixt the night
Guided only by moonlight
Against the wind, her icy blast
A forceful shadow, I did cast
Upon the gate my journey came
And against my judgement, I was swain
I push'd open the wooden stile
And inside a sight thou would'st revile
Mine eye flitted to a fro
From wizen'd hag and pitch black crow
From spectral visions and potions bound
My mind could not wrap around
Such gazes of this terrible coven
The air grew warm like in an oven
I turn'd 'pon my heels and went to flee
But they swoop'd and they prevented me
To the floor, myself did spill
And their cackling it did shrill
And closing in for the kill
Knives they raised, with gleaming hilts
And then?...Awake in my bed
These visions had all just been in my head
But just one thing remains unsaid
How can one dream when one is quite, quite dead?
