Starved roots

Pull down the knotted limbs beneath

Trapped to all

Secrets in the grain

The leaves fall, still

A cold night, watching you

From the place of loneliness

Many eyes

Looking deep from within

Blooded sap runs

Ghost dance in the ruins

Come join us

The faces in the woods

Rotted bark

Choking dark

Fog blots the eyes

No help, no disguise

They are watching you

The faces in the woods

Lost, forgotten

Achieve a pale insignificance

Clutch my soul

And leave me

Leave me among the trees

I’ll never go back

I’m watching

I’m watching you to join me

With the faces in the woods
