death drives the dark
fearless is site unseen
seeks a wicked threshold
catching sleep in between
lost dreams and vague debris
the momentum of obscurity
to the snap of fingers
an instant flicker
turns the head
movement jumps to flee
catching the outline distinct
against headlight beams
the moving silhouette
hanging from trees
the swing of grief
soon to seed
the tears of misery bleeds
sharp stabs seeking green
a means plunging deep
urging a pulse to beat
so goes the steady stream
growing tree to tree
a sea of branches
rises high to see
beyond the leafs
