the masterpiece of the House of Murder in Dostoevsky, that sombre house, so long, and so high, and so huge, of Rogojin in which he kills Nastasia Philipovna. That novel and terrible beauty of a house. (Marcel Proust)

where death was embedded
in eighteen twenty-one the hauntings began
soon as the wooden structure
opened for business visitors felt the chill
many became violently ill!
Voices were heard flies often filled the air
nobody understood why
did tainted blood washed down the well
on the ancient burial ground
cause the disturbances in the night spot
