ILL Wind
An ill wind blew down from the Texas
run broke cross Arkansas
casting floods on the Delta
leaving Death at my door
Kincannon ; the gifted sensitive
stonecutter and carver
Brother to the Guild and son of the Cathedral
leaving no rhyme or reason
placed his tools in their locker
and stepped from his workbench wearing a rope
for a collar
In the dead of my night
The wind is moist and sticky
and my fire burns low in darkness
The mind torments racing for answers
As the soul lays naked waiting in hope
yet there is nothing;
nothing
only the rustle of dead leaves
and a scratching of helpless limb
to the heart of the house
