Scarecrow

Imperceptible threat
His hideous facial features
Faceless terror
Projective inversion
Cracked skin, nocturnal sweat.

Stench of pee and excrements
Pale light dancing, lamp swinging
Unstable balance that can break at any time
Hidden under the blanket, feeling his glance on me.

His skepticism stinks of ignorance
Internal reflection of the monster
Through a window that never existed
Compelling me.

My hateful friend, may you never leave, never leave
Artificial treacherous light, scarring the dark
Fear the scarecrow.

His regular and putrid breath invades the room
Absent flowers fade away
My beautiful straw doll
Cold smile, wormed body without ends
No sound as starts the decomposition.

My hateful friend, may you never leave, never leave
Artificial treacherous light, scarring the dark
Fear the scarecrow.

Waiting for the cleaver of the promised and lethal dissociation
That will split the child’s will into two
Leaving him abandoned
To the precipice that his mind refused to see
Leaving me as a placid witness.
