thrilling arms and
eyes, glowing starry
at blackened skies.
From mansion...

The VisitorOnce upon a night so bleak,
frozen silent laid the creek --
air of death, pushed, swore
and swore...as if were fists
pounded the frail, wood door;
shutters noised, bolting and
banging; metal hinges oddly
clanging – cupboard glasses
adding more tumultuous tang,...

Vladimir shuns sunlight
Vampire bat stalks at night
Vivid moon shines so bright
