For Poe, On Halloween

The floor boards beat
dull beats,
but they won’t

beat without me
lying
down, not on

them, on the bed,
their beats
beating up

through springs, in through
the walls
beating. Beat,

I’m not afraid.
My heart
beats louder.

You've got the beat, my friend! Happy Halloween. Poe would approve, I'm sure.
