..what do I see shifting around these gallows?
Goethe - Faust
Ah! This that I hear, is it the night's north wind yelping or the hanged man who pushes out a sigh on the sinister-looking fork?
Would it be some cricket singing crouched in the moss and barren ivy that the woodland, pitying, uses for shoes?
Would it be some fly on the hunt sounding its horn to ears that cannot hear the fanfare of hallali?
Would it be some beetle in irregular flight picking a bloody hair from his bald skull?
Or would it even be some spider embroidering half a yard of muslin to make a tie for this strangled neck?
It is the bell ringing against the walls of a town, below the horizon, and the carcass of a hanged man reddened by the setting sun.
