Silence dances on padded heels
to chant the moon in full to new.
To twirl and swirl among the stones
until the morn does steam the dew.

Who has not stood in wait the rise
of bones the ground of clay beheld.
As chirps and caws did bring from fear
a gnawing wrench of cries expelled.

To gaze the stare of lifeless orbs
and feel the chill through human soul.
As tremors shake the clayey soil
before the horse drawn wagons roll.

Tis but the night in quaking rest
when souls shall dance a silent tune
to sack the skull and brittle bones
and squeal the sight of devil’s lune.

And whence the shadows lie the grass
before the howling of the dogs,
a cock will crow to fly the owl
amongst the smell of putrid bogs.

Somehow you weave the classic Poe into the prose of the demi-gods.  This is great!
Creative, and wise, with plenty of color and pep. Enjoyed thoroughly, TD
