Spiderwebs & Harlequins Poem by Minx Videsben

Spiderwebs & Harlequins



During the middle of the night

When the fog covers everything like a blanket

You can hear a girl crying

In the middle of a garden

At the edge of a forest

She can be found

Sitting on a fountain's edge

Mourning the death of a goddess

But the closer you get to her

As you try to just comfort her

You can hear how her sobs

Slowly becomes laughter

As something creeps up on you from behind

The jester can distract you

Whilst the beast feasts on you
