THIS IS THE ITEM THAT GUARDS THE GRAVEYARDS THAT YOU NEVER SEE...
I THINK THAT I SHALL NEVER SEE
A THING AS LOVELY AS A DEAD TREE.
A TREE WITH A BRANCH GROWING STRAIGHT AND LOW
UPON WHICH HANGS A CORPSE BELOW.
HE'S HELD UP BY HIS NOOSE,TWIXT THE GROUND AND SKY.
A BLACK BIRD SWOOPS DOWN ON HIM, TAKING HIS EYE.
POEMS ARE WRITTEN BY GHOULS LIKE ME, BUT ONLY THE HANGMAN
CAN MAKE THE DEAD TREE....
