In shadows


pierce the shadows from candle wax
still it drips in the flow from the flame
a timid drink for lurking phantoms
the liquid drops flowing from the flame

shattered the shadows from lantern glow
midnight trips for secret rites of night
behind bars and through empty glass
tipsy feet dance for secret rites of night

abandon the shadows from streetlight lamp
where wages gleaned for penny pleasures pushed
when knives sing a softer evening tune
wages plundered for penny pleasures pushed

crack the shadows from moonbeam eggshell
bat wings fly as unseen dragons eat the light
ravenous the dark stalkers just beyond sight
matching appetites of unseen dragons eating light
