Before She Came

before she came
I stood here
for what seemed
like eons
with a blood red sun
setting behind me
my head full
of nothing more
than sawdust
straw
and dreams
a hole in my chest
where beetles
scuttled
happy
come rain or shine
my only fear
that crows might see
through me
be brave and bold
and strut towards me
then peck out
my button eyes

now
as the shadows grow long
before me
I feel a chill wind
blow in
from beyond
the rainbow
and the faltering steps
of something
coming
from another place

I jump
startled
as a pale
small hand
falls
on my
cross-bar shoulder
and I know
my world
will never be
the same
again
