WOODLAND WANDERING
The sun goes down
Day yields his kingdom to the night
The moon appears
Confirming sun’s disgraceful flight
On woodland trails
Forgotten years ago by man
The Axeman hunts
With sharpened blade kept close to hand
The young girl waits
Her boyfriend gone for breakdown aid
The car, still warm
Lulls her toward sleep, unafraid
He sees the car
The Axeman takes a ragged breath
The girl awakes
Her fate is horror, pain and death.
Day yields his kingdom to the night
The moon appears
Confirming sun’s disgraceful flight
On woodland trails
Forgotten years ago by man
The Axeman hunts
With sharpened blade kept close to hand
The young girl waits
Her boyfriend gone for breakdown aid
The car, still warm
Lulls her toward sleep, unafraid
He sees the car
The Axeman takes a ragged breath
The girl awakes
Her fate is horror, pain and death.
