The Walker in the Wind

In the Mind of Man there lurks a Raven,
And Sirens that rend the silence with
Fitful shreiks and wails that would freeze
The blood (if they coulod but be heard).
Dark mists dart and dance about the tree
Wherein the raven reveals his secrets.

The walker in the wind stands and strains,
Ethereal, before the large black bird.

"Why," he asks, "is it that my dreams are

So dark? So filled with demons dancing

In the still monnlight? With other horrid

Dead creatures come to clasp my hand

So tightly it seems their flesh is one with mine?”

The raven opened his great eyes and growled,
"Are your dreams silly because they look
Nothing like the world about you? Lock

With your true eyes and see that il is not

The wind that whips you, nor demons that you
Dance with, nor the dead that grip you.

"Look, and see that just as your dreams

Mirror your soul, you sruggle to make this
World mirror you dreams. Stop dancing with
Your demons- face them and let the living world
Shape your dreams before the death takes

Your dreams from you. Forget this not!”

As the walker turned to leave, and ponder on

What the raven had said, the Raven began to cackle.

You

circle me

brown lips smiling

moonlight shining on lively breasts
no stranger to the night’s silken touch

we both know where we stand

You with your eight sisters

i huddled close to your furry neck
watching the fleas crawl and bite you
draining your blood

ignoring your cycle

Now i am standing on your stomach
knowing the night

ready to suckle, i take what ineed »
my circle is drawn

True Ghost Stories?

UBC Hitchhiker

People driving down University Boulevard on cold winter nights

sometimes see a young women hitchhiking. Some people even claim
that they’ve stopped and picked her up. She explains that she needs a ride
because she had a fight with her boyfriend and he left her there. She
always disappears before you take her home, cursed to forever haunt the
spot where she was murdered.

The April Ghost

Sometime in the 1930’s Doris Gablin and her husband travelled to
the Oak Bay Beach Hotel to try and patch up their failing marriage. Doris
was murdered by her husband and buried in the 8 green of the nearby
golf course. Her husband then leaped in to a kelp bed and drowned. In
late March the sprit of Doris Gablin walks the graveyard, always ending
at the rock that her husband jumped off of. She is joined by the ghosts of
other women who stand on the edge of the rock and sing.

The Dancing Ghost

In the early 1900’s a young bride gilded down the spiral staircase in
the Bamff Springs Hotel. Her gown caught fire from the candles that lit
the stairway and she burned to death. The stairway is now closed and
hotel workers claim to see the ethereal form of a woman dancing the
wedding waltz that she never got the chance to dance in life.

Crossroads Ghost

From the early 1900’s to the 1950’s the ghost of a young girl stood
by the crossroads at the Telsky farm in Yorktown Saskatchewan. If
anyone tried to talk with her she would disappear only to reappear later.
Who she was or what she was watching for was never discovered.
