POETRY

Things Forgotten

Jeannie Eddy is a Missouri writer who lives with a houseful of chaos and evil dust bunnies.

N THE DARKNESS, movement
A slither of sinew beneath skin
The rasp of nails on concrete

In the moonlight, stillness
Light touching lost memories
Air breathing across faint soul

In the shadows, forgetfulness
A whisper of sound forgotten
A thing forever dark

Things forgotten, things remembered
Fear that claws through mists of dreams
Will morning rescue the dreamer?
