Night Noise

By: Brooke Kolcow





the crackle cackle crickets

and the creaking creepy tree chiroo chiroo the night noise makes chiroo chiroo chiree

the house sick aches a thousand let the peeping spirits be

knock thrice, night-witch, my baby cackle crack chiree

the frogs and toady beetles

lost owl in the shed

chiroo cackle cackle

a banshee wailing dead

a man in tattered garment

now brush he by the door

all silence make.

Pause

give kiss and this and more

a thousand salted doorways his footsteps echoed sinned a cricket haunted house ache but perhaps, perchance the wind
