Folklore

A Poem

By Kale SinclairPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Folks love to lure folklore

into their cabins at midnight.

Inviting the antichrist architects

of madness and nightmares and

monsters they’ve found on the darkest of websites.

Lighting candles for cryptids and

boiling cauldrons for witches.

Folks are deathly obsessed with

opening wounds and festering stitches.

    I feel like there are two layers to this poem - literal and metaphorical. Are we the orchestrators of our dark moments?
