You shall not, you shall never,
The hissing wind singes my mind
a gelid tone that stings my spine, and I tremble -
compelled to cower, too terrified to blink.

void, forever, of sense and prudence
yet clad in appalling nescience
benighted souls look for their insignificant dreams.

So through meandering thoughts I shall wade
when I let my curtains down
and unnamed ghouls aimlessly wander 
down the silent boulevard.
