Formerly Published Poem by EC: "Horror"




The drilling sound is muffled by the closed door

curious as I am, I tiptoe to open it

then, out of the drillings, I hear the word "please"

I stop in my tracks, too shocked to proceed 


After the drillings comes the total silence

live noises turn into nauseating emptiness

nothing to hear, no voice, no drills

sucked into this silence, I listen desperately

but no, no sounds, then I open the door 

what I find is an empty room, void of life

no one to plead, no one to drill

nothing to cast shadows, still there they are 

Yes, what is this formless shadow

growing in the corners, spreading in silence? 

I don't know, and I close the door upon it

then, there it is, the voice and the "please"

even the drillings, coming out of nothing
