open  go
to then outside
where half a moon glows
into the grey blue sky

ghost as  the trees
dissolve in the grey
mysterious things
like elvish beings

cloaked in darkness
their limbs sway
creak, wave in the torrid breeze
to me

on a step forward
my foot touches a terrible
thing, creature from
my nether dream.

all the heartbeat stops
but the sound of an
echo of the
beat in my ears,

till I realize
that small unseen creatures
surely know
my weakness'

A curdling
of my remains
so drawn up,
into a knot

of white dots there
so aware in my eyes
