Cal Miller
An introduction
A current 8th grader at Manning (Albeit having less than a month left of school) who has a deep interest in the occult, as well as spooky horror movies and illustrations. He is very interested in writing, especially in poetry and short story style, and composes music for fun; usually silly songs that contrast his creepy writing style. He is best represented by a plastic lawn Flamingo.
Crucifixion
I am within the grasp of all I can see and
Waiting for something to pool and mirror out of spite
Or something to keep me from
Doubling over and yowling in agony
Opening up the floodgates wide
Through the cracks, revealing what’s inside
Peering through someone else’s eyes
I stumble, disoriented by my faceless mask
Though my feet lodge into the sand, like fleshy spades
Becoming tongue-tied though my words trail and snake
Slowly I am crucified
Alone, I wait for the moon to block me out
For I am a servant to the skies and to the earth, a slave
Just as I rehearsed, to my planted feet I shout
And silently plot my escape.
The Fall
Skies in blue and white
Soaring over lifeless worlds
Unchanged desert sands
Quiet peace arises
Goose feathers falling from clouds
Lull you off to sleep
Atlas Moth
Cal's favorite insect is an Atlas Moth, a massive moth with an average wingspan of 9.8+ inches. They also do not eat, and have no mouths. They only live 1-2 weeks after emerging from their cocoons.
