FOOTSTEPS AT THE DOOR



“Institute Benjamenta” (1995) dir. Timothy Quay, Stephen Quay

Has he come for me?
I hear his footsteps.
Walking up the steps.
The leaves stop rustling.
The wind stops blowing.
The silence is overpowering.
Is he standing outside the door,
Waiting for me to open it?
I won’t.
I won’t let him in.
He wants me.
I won’t become one of The Dead.

ICE HEAVEN



An ice heaven awaits.
Frozen statues in paradise.
Parties in the cold of night.
The Dead of night.
The Dead can’t feel the burn.
Their guests twirling among the frozen
Raise their glasses to The Dead and gone.
No melting until the sun shines bright
And The Dead hide their faces.
Take me away from here
Before I become one of them.
The night walkers who seek darkness
and revel in the cold night hours.

NO SHELTER FROM THE STORM


The birds are watching.
They are waiting for night.
It will provide cover
for their flight over Oasis.
They will storm the Town Hall
with shrieks of glee.
Their bodies will transform into
creatures of hell.
There will be no shelter from this storm.

THE HAUNTED HOUSE

Come inside.
A palace awaits you.
It might appear deserted.
Run down and unused.
The inside tells
a different story.
Walk on marble floors
through rooms of delight.
Rooms of different eras.
Reflecting a dead man’s dreams.
A man with no life or future.
Waiting for the end of time.
In a house fit for a prince
or a prince of darkness.
