Horror is a color in our rainbow,
A chimerical, spectral inner arc of black.
Light bursting through the prism of our dreams
Lingers as a set of separate beams,
Of which pure terror is a prominent track,
Where we may feel our bones freeze to the marrow,
Exercising instincts else gone slack.
Nor does all truth lie tucked between two seams.
