I was carved from
the oldest tree
by strange things
in the beginning
ancient things that
dance and spill blood
The music was sharp
and cut deep into
my creation of stings
each sliver sang
a song for the bats
carried through time
Dance in the air
with your veined wings
brew a storm of
dark clouds for me
and my wooden face
Eschew their view
let humanity trip
on my tarnished strings
have them fall to their knees
let the rats have their fill
with each virus bite
My guide, the black cat
watches me move and pull
plays with my strings
from victim to victim
never one to disagree
We all agreed a long time ago
the bats, rats, and black cats
I never should have been made in the first place
I’ve honestly have only watched the first episode of Stranger Things. but your poem stands powerfully on its own. The imagery is so vivid and eerie, it feels like a story in itself.
In the fourth season there is a character that plays the song from Metallica. So epic!!!! I put the link below in case you’re curious. I haven’t been writing the past year. I’ve been busy trying new things so your comment means the world.
Thanks for stopping by:)

Wow this is dark. I remember the show. Nicely written.
Hey Fia. Thank you!
I wrote this yesterday trying to find my mojo. lol
It’s been a while since I’ve sat down and written anything.
I’m going to post more often but it might be some older stuff from DUP.
Im still simmering on my other write about wildflowers.
Fingers crossed I will write something this weekend.
Thanks for the support:)
What! Of course you should’ve been made! All of my bad luck, you are my salvation!
You don’t write “dark” much. But obviously you can when it hits ya. The plethora of details within the write make it full, like a bag of candy when trick or treating. (That black cat I saw a few weeks ago was right outside my front door this evening!).
Haunting write, my Morticia,LOL.
Hahahaha. There’s your word plethora!! You crack me up up.
Me a good luck charm? I feel a pandora charm coming on hehehehe
And you can’t take it back. I’m still your salvation but you have to take me shopping for girl stuff!
Thank you lover !!
I was telling Glen, at work, about my boots you got me! He was asking about when is the hat happening. LOL. I told him I’m more a ball cap guy.
Well Christmas is around the corner.
I might surprise you!
Powerfully penned, Adel. Excellent write my friend, this one has darker tones. I dig it. Appreciate you.
