A FOREST OF TEN

DEMONS

Type: Poem (Dedicated to the wild)

Thick trees in threes, wild flowers spring--

Nine fruits in each, so sweet, it kills.

No life, no breathe, nothing can live,

Only some ten who stare and deal.

Faces in white, no legs nor limbs_

Demons at last, who stare and deal.

Forest of awe, championed by ten--

Run while they chant- vultures for meals!

Tick-tock, Chick-chock, slowly they match__

Who then will come-- so they can catch?

Spirits who stare when mortals dare_

No shadows found, except for skulls.

A forest of ten demons!
