Banshee

Rating: 5.0


Her wail...

A lamentation

for a death to come

The shrieking

psychopomp

is here

standing on

my threshold

singing

the chant

for my doom



Το γοερό της κλάμα...

Ένας θρήνος

για θάνατο επερχόμενο

Η ωρυόμενη

ψυχοπομπός

είναι εδώ

στέκεται

στο κατώφλι μου

τραγουδώντας

την επωδό

του χαμού μου

Death is only a guidance. No one ever knows if we get attached to God or pushed again to get recycled. Your choice of subject and your mode of presentation both have always fascinated me since i began reading you. Nice poem 10+
