Night Stalker


angled shadows hide the source

conspicuous light invades

we lurk and linger inside it all

wondering what is next...

tears form in the hand's palm

as nervousness initiates

we are poised and ready but

not balanced...  fears cause us

to bend and pierce the night

with our eyes, hoping darkness

does not conceal too much...

we are in and out but move more

slowly than we are cautious,

black is the symbol we seek

camouflaged by the nightness

and the eeriness it conveys...

silently we peer inside windows

where the light hides our fragile

presence...  we see nothing and

decide to return to our quarters.
