Months on Devil's Mountain

The closest chair was still too far. 

 Raven was staggering to the bar. 

 Mind too dark to think. 

 To Cole Bone's left he let himself sink. 

"Yo! Wanna something to drink?" 

 But Crooked Smile's greetings were left unheard. 

By his friend that is: 

Cole Bone didn't want to miss 

Which tale might now follow.

 Sure, he would have recognized 

the young fellow's name. 

Not the appearance. 

After all, Raven wasn't 

anymore the same. 


 "Apple juice", the bartender said. 

Raven, face like a mask 

Of stone,Put the glass aside. 

"I was lucky 

 To survive on Devil's Mountain!" 


Cole Bone hit the roof: 

"Liar! Devil's Mountain doesn't even exist! 

Proof? 

You - Anyone who left to find, 

Would be dead by now!" 


"You know, Raven spoke 

Calmly, 

 Call me ghost If you must, 

'Cause there is something indeed, 

I've lost."
