Linda Alice Fowler Poet Other

As Darkness Fell

As darkness fell with suddenness,
the sun slid behind the blood moon.
Sounds of nightlife emerged off tune.
You flaunted your unevenness, 
emboldened by dark drunkenness.
Your twisted mind a fierce monsoon
	as darkness fell.

You came with sulky sullenness 
and brought your foul humor jejune.
You played the part of grisly goon
and had lost all your humanness
	as darkness fell.
