102 N. Edgewood


Follow-~>

The woman in black
Who looks for her child.

<~- Retreat

To the safety of home
When the child is found

Open-~>

The book of spells
And wait till nine

<~-Close

The doors leading
To the Nile

-~> Repeat

The words as she walks in

<-~ Forget

Her face as the shadow swallows you in.
