The black veil

The veil of the black night

Does not inconvenience me.

I am not scared of

What conspires beneath the

Dark envelope.

But.

It is the shadows

Lurking in the

Sleepy squares

And quiet corners

That unsettle me.

The murmurs of the night,

The susurrations,

Of course!

Unintelligible.

The mysteries

Of the sunlight hours

Come to

Plague the hours of darkness.

The hushed conspiracies

Stirring up

In

The buzz of katydid

Echoing

In the silent hours.

The unfathomable

Comes to haunt.

And yet intrigues.

Conscious of

Every single footstep,

Black-eyes on prowl,

Ominous rumblings,

The fascinations tempt

And

Finally

Undo me.
