Prowling

The slow caressing night A splash of night lotion Crumpled bed sheet An unending novel of love and anguish The distant rumble of a train Ever-echoing hills and their mystic caves The terrains of age-old fleeting life A sudden lightning and the blinding darkness thereafter The eternally seething inferno Satan’s serpentine encroachments Intermittent showers drenching hoary trees The sudden scourge of a flash flood You stare at darkness’ face, its ambiguous Strategy of preying upon you, or Turning you into a predator yourself
