Within the Oily Wonder

What wicked things wail this way?
Nothing that I know of--
Only this cloaking curtain,
This mooned and muted shadowland...

All fright is found in non-disclosure
Within the oily wonder,
Punctured by scars and stars and
Wounded well-wishers 
Wondering upon a sparrow'd wickedness.
