Frank Miller would be proud. I was not expecting THIS IS SPARTA. I probably should have from the title. It is Greek after all. I like the Air's static, but not stale line a lot. That would seem to speak of the anticipation of battle.
Here's my move and my offering to the game. It's funny where your mind goes sometimes.

Newton’s Cradle

Terror is
an unseen clacking ball,
an animated doll with
a butcher’s knife
crawling through
ventilation shafts.
Imperceptible connections:
sticky as spiders’ webs.
A butterfly’s wings bringing tornadoes.
Overhead, flying monkeys chitter
at straw zombies
in need of brains.
The witch cackle, cackles
You can never go home.
She will tell you of cancer
after the cell phone call,
of the mercury and fluoride
after the filling.
Death comes first
then the dying.
The metal duct cover has already
clattered to the floor.
