Tic tac tic tac
from the tower he saw it all,
the trees, the lake, the village small
the forest path up the hill
passing by the river mill.
tic tac tic tac tic tac tic
kept by hands of skill
tic tac tic
the clockwork never still
tac tic tac tic tac tic tac tic
a girl came walking home at night
walking fast in scarce moon light
he saw her walking closer still
a shadow by the mill
tic tac tic tac tic tac
a moment’s thrill
tic tac tic tac
he waited
tic tac tic tac
he waited still
tic tac tic tac tic tac tic tac tic tac tic tac tic tac tic tac tic tac tic tac tic tac tic
no one came out of the river mill
tic tac tic tac tic

With charms and knick-knacks
I lured her in
She never suspected
I would eat her skin

This actually reminded me of ‘The Telltale Heart’ in the way that sound pervades the thoughts and mind of the character. Very well done!

Thanks! It’s inspired by The Raven, so there is indeed a connection 🙂
