dVerse Poets Poetics

***

“We all go a little mad sometimes” – Norman Bates, Psycho (1960)

–

It’s easy to say you’re not afraid

Even though mistakes will be made

The drum beats slowly in your head

Walking by the stones you dread

Walk or run, the beat continues

Cemeteries all hold the lives

Of evil people, now demised

Only you can hear the venue

Why, I ask, is that true?

Have evil in your heart – you?

Oh I see it, it’s through and through

The day will come, you’ll show that brew.
