It Speaks to Me

A warning from within the house

By S.K. WilsonPublished 4 days ago 1 min read
the house calls out, seeking help from the sole life inside

Click click click click click, click click

What is that? What is that sound?

Something is wrong in the house

Click click, click click click, click click

The pattern is not constant, changing

Click click, click click click, click click

It is the same now, that was the same

Is it trying to speak? The house speaks

Click, click click, click click click click

Different again! Is it Morse code? A signal?

My house, this hundred year old place of hearth

Now determined to send a message to me

Click Click Click, Click Click, click

What are you trying to warn me of? What danger?

Why do you change the pattern, if not a sign to me

Click, click click click, click click, click click click

Careful. Investigate with care. Watch for attacks

Click click click click, click, click, click click

Oh … it’s the fan in the front room, shaking, clicking

Rattling on the highest speed setting, click, off.
