Let Me Come In

Suspended like a lemon drop on the tongue of night the moon melts— there was a child who eyed the sky through his black lashes crows did fly Haze, ever present, on this humid September eve, blurs the edges of reality calling forth images sweet beginnings the howls of wolf— the warmth of blood. a teddy bear he held to him Ma said the wolf cried—let me in Fireflies fly near the sparkler’s spinning lamplight bathes his white blanket in blue. under the cover he runs boohoo after all he was only two! *2 rhythms- free verse & rhyming couplets
