And now for something different...

Written last Halloween. 
Bad Seed
I am the fetus who killed his twin while
yet en utero and then strangled purposely
on the umbilical cord to poison you as
a floating malignancy on the sea of amniotic fluid,
shooting gray infection through your belly and breasts.
You buried me surreptitiously by moonlight in
the dank soil of the garden.
I grew throughout that sweltering, rainless summer,
sprouting out of the parched ground in a long, fibrous
tendril that opened a single violet blossom.
I listened to you remarking how everything but this one
plant had died, and how odd the bloom was.
I am the shiny, poisonous-looking fruit that
hung bloated and deadly,
the one that made you shudder, just to look upon.
And then I plunged myself deep into the earth yet again.
Growing, growing, growing....
You stayed away from the garden all summer, telling
yourself that you weren’t really afraid, but that there
was no sense in visiting a dead garden after all...
And yet, I watched you worrying through
the kitchen window during those long, still
afternoons filled with slow thunderheads.
I heard your dreams, and drank myself dizzy from
your fear and loathing.
And just last night, the first night that the frost killed
the shrieking cicadas and turned the irises black,
I emerged from the soil, shaking it from my
hair and shoulders, lapping it from my
sharp teeth and spitting it in a hissing arc, into the well.
The red moon was dying, choking to death on its own blood,
and I, with a triumphant shout, kicked down your door
to stand over your bed, grinning wildly, roaring in a
dirt-thickened voice,
"HELLO, MOTHER!"
-Frank H. Weeden
