Discordant echoes

 


Warped old vinyl,

wartime tunes,

spinning

discordant echoes

through

cobwebbed room.

In the haze

I see a face,

it looks like you,

only the smile

is replaced

with tortured gloom.

 

Twisted sneer

gurgling through

rotten gums.

I turn to run,

but now the corridor

stretches on and on.

I dare to glance back.

Twist my neck.

A Snapshot.

My eyes catch

a glimpse,

a photograph of

something unworldly

in the dark.

 

Well meet again

spins

but the vocals

are out of sync,

warping in

and out of time,

the keys of

a piano screech

like nails

down a chalkboard

and I’m running

for my life.

Eyes fixated

on the pinprick

in the distance.

Heart racing.

The beats distinct

from the footsteps

chasing me down.

 

Some sunny day.

Oh, how I wish

I was there.

Somewhere.

Anywhere but here.

Just to feel your heart

pressed against mine

to alleviate the fear.

But those footsteps

are growing near 

and I don’t think

I have much time.

But well meet again

I’m sure,

when the sun

shines down

and I reach that door.
