I love the way that you constructed this, Susie. That feeling is creepy and familiar. I like to leave my drapes open when I watch tv in the evening so my dog can see out, but just sometimes I get a weird sensation and close them. (And I always close them when I go to bed.)

PS--I love having you here on HP so I never miss a poem!

I love the brilliant use of words in this Susie! It seems that night and the darkness it holds can evoke so many feelings and fears as well, especially when sleep is hard to find.

I could almost feel the invasion.  Wonderful descriptive writing.
