One Eyed Creature
by Kim Walker 8-22-08
Out of the darkness
Off the far road
Stepped the tall stranger
Silent he strode
One step and stop
And once more again
Grey gusts whip cloak back
Revealing the pain
Twisted and bleeding
Left leg now short
The stranger continues
His face in contort
Where has he come from this man of woe?
Out of the darkness and off the far road?
No cart is seen here.
No other man.
He carries no baggage.
I don’t think he can.
He step stops in darkness.
He can’t even see.
I would seek shelter if I were he.
For in this vast dark wood there’s a creature nearby.
They say it will find you
Even with its one eye
It hunts with its ears
So don’t make a sound
The step stopping stranger
Is sure to be found
With each step stop he makes
He gets weaker still.
If the creature won’t stop him
The pain surely will
He huffs with the effort
He thumps to the ground
A crumpled pile in old leaves and there is no sound.
