not buck with the clapboard slap of tide,
the clockwork shock of wave on rock,

The Sleeper and the Supernaturalist
"The Sleeper and The Supernaturalist"
The Sleeper

through the Woods
shining alive
like nothing
natural could
caught
in the moonlight
unaware
the innocent
red-caped roses stared
the trees whispered,
"beware, beware"
barefoot softly
the Supernaturalist

Their ancient murmurs mingling with the forest’s ominous chorus.
