If you go out in the woods? today… (Prose)

2bdb29be89c120d09bdcb34c22d86286 
above me on the streets
the sound of feet, shuffling back and forth
on slippery concrete treading oblivious
to what lies underfoot
 
where drops splash
I wait, listening for the noise
hidden from those above
the evil unnoticed down below
 
those who are unknowing
the underground tunnels of my world
the hideous who lurk, like me
against the darkened walls
 
 sightless creatures dwell
devouring those who enter
a domain remote, mysterious
beneath the infrastructure
 
curiosity of bourbon
bottled manliness
descends from concrete lids
unsuspecting, into the abyss
 
where icicle like cobweb trails
hangs from moss infected walls
and rodents lay in wait, like me
eager to destroy
 
to anyone who enters my environment
and slips against their will
take heed of my demonic life
my thirst for bones is real
 
tread carefully as you descend
I salivate with thoughts of you
you will not be protected
I’ll seek and then I’ll kill
