Boundary Conditions












Boundary Conditions

Moonlight on graves, shadows fall
Batwings flitter across the night sky
The thin reedy cry, the ghostly call
Soft as a whisper, one final sigh

Shadows of the past, linger a while
Gazing at the living, a chasm of time
Tempting the living, with all their guile
Until a midnight, a church clock chime

Time past, present, future: all is now
The thin places, where they will meet
A cat amongst the tombs, a faint meow
The Halloween cry: take trick or treat

The boundary is thin twixt living and dead
At any time, the fates could cut our thread
