This hearkens back to an experience I had as a runaway teenager. It is the only time in my life where I feel absolutely certain that I encountered a demon or evil spirit of some sort.

Dispossession

yes…

            i have seen your claws
        razor black talons
    aimed at my mind

            i have seen your eyes
        dark red slits in the depths
    of ink blot shadows

and…

            i have felt your touch
        siphon warmth from my blood till shards
    cracked from my spirit

yet…

    i will never forget
        how you shriveled in terror
            when i called to the stars
