It Was Invasion

How will you measure the wide
gulf between words and hyphens ?
             The apostrophes will give you 
             restrain and isolation.

The predators will sit and
wait for the fallouts. The night
             was your domain to start
             sinning; in erasing the numbers.

The midnight grief during the
assault of moon. Were you ready
             to unmask the hidden inter-
             polator ? The merciless thrush ?

Candidiasis ? It was eating
away your smell, your taste
              and moments of glimpses
              of the fire in the groins.
