I hold my breath in darkness
Crack
Tick. Tick. Tick.
And let it go.
He must have come a long way
Tick. Tick. Tick.
Click.
He must have sensed
The only warmth laid out for him
Creeeak
Tick... Tick...
Acrid loss hangs low in the air
Damp claws ***** my toes
Inhale
And he drinks
Come to redeem blood lost
Silence
Tick. Tick. Tick.
Creeeak
Click.
My foot runs over the aging scabs
Exhale
I sink back into slumber
