Wood of Yew- Michael Erickson
Sing out oh blades of jet and glass so hewn, The bell tolls our final doom. With symbols drawn and lines thus curved, The Beast is called for mortal men unnerved. Our darkness binds as goodness falls, Inner gates crumble beneath foul witch's gall. Bells upon the water scream, Voices call within the deep. Rush … Continue reading Wood of Yew- Michael Erickson
Haibun: Monstress
I was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week before I killed him. His voice is raspy and weak as he pulls me in close. “My darling girl. My beautiful, darling girl.

I think I even spotted a gargoyle on the south … Continue reading Flash Fiction: Little Stranger

Beside My Grave- Michael Erickson
Stand here quiet beside my grave, 'Neath shadowed pines and maples gray. Hear my whispers beneath the stone, Twisted round roots full grown. A secret kept for a hundred years, Preys upon your deepest fears. Lay your hand upon my name, Dripping sweet of blood unclaimed. Let me rise with rotten bloom, To bring forth … Continue reading Beside My Grave- Michael Erickson
