Imagine twenty-three times
of walking down that lonely road
that quiet road, the old crone's home.

Imagine twenty-three times of racing,
back and forth, back and forth in step,
keeping pace to that savage tune
playing as the darkness looms.

Imagine twenty-three times just listening for--
the clock!
It crowed, the sun is low
and in candlelight her visage shows.


"Out, Out--OUT!"
I said
to her.
