Ugliness

As when out, late walking
Blackness confronting
Face-moulded, mime whose response
Ugliness does bring.

Having pulled back in shock
Screamed, scaring a flock
That screwed up, so horrified
What in place does lock.

Instinctual! As both share
What is of it bare:
Whose appeal, would otherwise
The Divine declare.
