The Lion's Promise

After the boy had taken a walk

with his dear - deceased - Grandmother,

his feet were somehow led to a small, ancient church,

wich was giving quite an imposing grandeur.

Partially sunken in the morass if the marshland

all foggy and chronically overcast...-

the ancient house was waiting.

The haunted house lies waiting.

Clockwise the stone flight is spiralling upwards,

but soon the passage becomes too small to get on...-

even though the boy's now crawling.

Anxiously he attempts to restrain,

but his way back semms to be obstructed:

Gelatinous hearts are linded-up along the walls,

each of them inseminated - or defiled - by a black

tadpole.

A stone lion promises to be the boy's rescue...-

but only, if he eventually...stops running away...from

him...
