Slap loudly against the empty street—
Tonight fog is my only friend.
The air, heavy with cold,
Chills the body as well as the mind.
A sensation of shivers
Pulses through me;
Fear has joined my journey.
Strange houses leer out at me
As I wander into unfamiliar territory.
It seems my friend has led me astray.
Suddenly another echoes my pitter-patter

—I am not alone, not alone—

My heart pounds brutally against my ribs,
And a heavy rasping permeates the air
As the houses fly past in arrays of blacks and grays.
I feel myself being whipped around
By a drunken gust of wind.
Struggling past its icy bite I make my way forward,
My back turned to the slurred sound
Of my name on its ragged breath.
The inky blackness tries to swallow me up,
And I, in wide-eyed wonderment,
Question what else is lurking in the darkness.
Finally a familiar house emerges from the gloom

—Panic subsides, subsides—

I have beaten the foes nobody knows
And the shivers are gone, gone.

Icy Imaginings

The soles of my shoes
Slap loudly against the empty street—
Tonight fog is my only friend.
The air, heavy with cold,
Chills the body as well as the mind.
A sensation of shivers
Pulses through me;
Fear has joined my journey.
Strange houses leer out at me
As I wander into unfamiliar territory.
It seems my friend has led me astray.
Suddenly another echoes my pitter-patter

—I am not alone, not alone—

My heart pounds brutally against my ribs,
And a heavy rasping permeates the air
As the houses fly past in arrays of blacks and grays.
I feel myself being whipped around
By a drunken gust of wind.
Struggling past its icy bite I make my way forward,
My back turned to the slurred sound
Of my name on its ragged breath.
The inky blackness tries to swallow me up,
And I, in wide-eyed wonderment,
Question what else is lurking in the darkness.
Finally a familiar house emerges from the gloom

—Panic subsides, subsides—

I have beaten the foes nobody knows
And the shivers are gone, gone.
