The ogre

Laughter,
in the distance
Sounds of night,
nearby.

Firewood,
crackling,
in the winter wind.
Somewhere,
an infant hungry.
Somewhere,
a life rescind.

Unhand me
, daemons abound,
playing without
so much as a cheer.
little by little
the fading sound.

Final notes,
a harmony,
with a thousand beats.
The ogre,
he warns us
and the mind
it cheats.
