the scar'est apparition i saw it once

recital by author |
the scar¹est apparition i saw it once
bloodaxe in the whole wide
wide word it spoke this
break you with a chop you
like a wooden piece
in a darkness forest with the green-
black light of big and small trees
and i you i mean i call you
in the echo that made silence
all the already silence animal
the very hidden places sound
stalker
and my surprised i when i fell in it
howling like was dev¹lish eternal
step over step over pine needles
snapping branches snap snap
behind me it was the light
reflect from steel i followed
no direct direction on
no way the ghost came at me
we i you us our yourselves
and i fell and taste blood and earth
on my lip and hear calls
you feel me you will
still the dark woods around whispered
the quiet whisper of birdless air
axe dancing before me in my head
and dust and musty smell
of the earth
of pine or awful awful
