Two Tanka
11:59pm Halloween Eve
___________________________________
black clouds hang lifeless
along the sleepy hollow
a dark shadow drifts
peering from her balcony
her tiny voice shrieks murder
thick air rising fast
gasping to regain her breath
running aimlessly
the whipping wind pounds the house
as her door creaking slams shut
