The Blue Shuttered House on Fear StreetA Poem by Kala BenfieldHushing specters leaping from one room to another. Shrieking a plea. 'Be gone!' She howled. Not a wolf could amount to such a scream. Piercing the ears of the children blocks down. Wrecking her own bleeding mentality. From the needles, she closes her glossy eyes. Sweating out the high. Hemorrhaging from her arms as shes swimming in the asylum. Ventose voices arrange her dreams into nightmares. Twisting her head 'round. Her arched back perspirating through the tattered white sheets. Another nauseating howl. The shadow of a spiders leg, the pit of her glassy hallucinations. Inkblot blemishes decay her bed. Rot it into a flame. Her blue shuttered house. Refraining from the matches. She grabs one. Howling another shriek. No control over herself. A shrouded veil o're her face. Blasphemy took over. Look what shes done. Up in flames it goes. Her vanity she used as a resting place. Leaving the ashes to decompose her Blue Shuttered House. Breaking out with an oil lamp and her bare feet. Darts to a shaken, rotted night terror. Something she fears. Grasping her life. Sinking fangs into a life that was ruined by blasphemers. No words can be written to describe the death of she. She wrote a plea, nor brush strokes can paint on a canvas. The blood of a lamb, finding the innocence lying lifeless in her redemption web. Dangling teeth o're her translucent neck. Devouring her poisoned body. Watching the blood drip from the web that wraps around her physique. She won't succumb to her trepidation. N'er she will. An unfortunate plea she made. A howling plea no one saw, nor heard. The hellish extortion ruined she. Forth righting everything she owned. Her sores were of a man who seeped deep within her spine. Sitting tight when he snapped his fingers. Tightening his web to suffocate demented innocence. Liquefying her bones. Drinking marrow out of the ashes of bone left of little innocence. Before, long ago when in a vein realm she so desperately cringed to escape. She seared instead. Instead she blew out. Exploding through the posts. Splintering her porch where she rocked her little ones, they too burned. Bringing more life then death For they did not suffer. Only ashed as the Blue Shuttered House scorched through the night. To be a witness of such a murder. The blood stains on her ink blotted blouse, what a witness to be apart. Disguising mistakes with good-bye. Peeling back the skin on the little ones. Piled on top of each other like wood. Although, many souls dancing free on this night, there still serves a reminder of the fears in this Blue Shuttered House.
