Rainy day clouds
Ominous shades;
Wet, wet, wet

Dawn unzips
Light spreads far;
New birth unravels

the young whelps sit curbside awestruck in dreams
fast money escalades cascading in...

inviting moon
The blackness moon brings inviting creatures
Creatures of imagination
Creatures too terrifying to meet eyes
The creatures inviting the screams, the roars

The sounds inviting the running legs
Of human beings
As cars are...
