The thing in the woods

My grandpa used to say : “In the woods, there’s something,
Do the rites. Pray the woods” he told us, he taught us
But we thrived to survive, uncaring, forgetting,
Grandpa’s dead, the thing’s there, and it has come for us.

***

Mon grand père nous disait : “Ya des choses dans les bois.
Dites les Mots. Priez les.” Sans cesse nous supplia.
Mais survivre est déjà un dur labeur en soi
Nous avons oubliés les mots. La chose est là.
