No Not Tonight
Awakened in the darkened night
Footsteps heard with drunken fright
Out of step a glint of light
Darkness hides the fear so tight
My move so quiet they never heard
The graceful pace of a humming bird
Out the window and down the street
Small and sleek no missing beat
No one they found
Here on this night
Their sticks they hold so very tight
Ropes unused each limb unbound
Running free
I hear them scream
Not quite done right
No Not Tonight
