Worlds with out NamesA Poem by Samuel Ferris
The blood thickens and curdles
like old milk left out in a dark, damp room; forgotten, sealed, and putrefying, it is consumed with out witness. The assailant takes hold when no one is watching, or listening; when the mind wanders through its endless cathedral of thoughts and desires. It is formless and there for free, it is free and there for electric and terrifying, it is both nameless, shapeless, imaginary and most real. It is not a corporeal thing, and it is not a phantom, but the left overs and unthinkables of the day coming awake in our veins; the entire worlds we forgot to name.
