Bats, Moons, Vampires and all the above

1.   Lying on my back on a floor concrete

I stare at little bats as they flit

Across the night sky to where they meet

And talk about what they'll eat

 

 

 

2.  Asleep all day awake all night

Love the dark and hate the light

Creatures of darkness or so it seems

Will I see you in my dreams?

 

 

 

3.   My gaze shifts to the ****** moon

Half full to lose it soon

Wolves to herald your zenith

Vampires to glory beneath

 

 

4.   Dark it grows now I need a torch

I write as I stare at the church

A cry of prayer goes up

My well of ink's dried up

Getting to verse 3, you might get confused but 'losing it soon' simply means the 'virgin moon' losing its virginity
