    The Fall of Salem II (The Forest)

    With heavy breathing escape to the Forest . . . run away.
    Flames on torches light the way through fog increasing.
    For her safety retrieve her lifeless body.

    Content to exploit the zombie bait, hooked and waiting to be fed.
    The undead surround the collapsed, left for dead.

    Surrender to the black . . . shadow hands grope . . .
    Her screams muffled by terror . . . the pressure increasing.
    For her memory retrieve her defiler.

    With heavy breathing train weapons on the Forest . . .
    Only to be repelled.
    Banish the torches in darkness, the evil impeding . . .
    For her memory retreat.

    Burdened by heavy losses and casualties,
    The captain weeps for death unnecessary.
    His love lost to despair . . .
    His final attempt met with unsteady stares,
    The hearts of his knights taken.

    For cowardice in battle stand down and fall upon your swords . . .
    Corralled by the challenge,
    Three brave face the labyrinth horseback abreast,
    Ominous fog increases . . .

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
