A gentle breeze whistles Through the keyhole A silence fills the room Darkness like a velvet mole Wafts over the still. She comes carefully to me Martha, from the past. A woman of iron, strong will and fury but silent. A bad, evil stench fills the air Rotting cobwebs shake in the mist A bone, arthritic like a stick Mishapen like her soul Points at me, then fades I laugh, shout "don't flatter yourself" "You are no lady, be gone foul player, Cat had your tongue, spat it out" I laugh, she reappears with tears Begs forgiveness, her soul, the decayer the torch with a thousand candles hits her eyes, announcing her fears Tears well in the socket of a misplaced ball of juicy *******. Be gone, be gone and she was. Martha, a joker, a sick woman now rest in peace.
