Haunted

By Aleta Sanford

 

A Shadow, fighting for freedom;

Clawing, kicking, howling for its release

But not here.

 

Monstrous screaming, I can feel it, building up.

It’s gathering momentum to make one big, alarming, ugly appearance.

But not here.

 

It’s rising up like a tsunami’s wave,

Towering over every creature in its vicinity.

Surely it will take everything,

Just not here.

 

Nothing can save me now;

Unfinished business is destroying everything here and now.
