Nowt Under the Bed

No night iz, 
under moons that drip ;
in too rotten boxes, 
and scurrying bones 
that trip blind rats; 
the spilt wine red
reflects the centuries;
you rise, immortal again:
Yet the shadow dissolves at dawn .

Another resonating write that trips through the night's labyrinth in moon glow images. Superb! Brian
