Glistening eyes
Staring
From behind.
The clock ticks.
The dog howls
In the moonlit night.
Running through the street,
I search for you.
Close your eyes
And count to ten.
Listen to the beetles
Fluttering and buzzing
Around the porch.
Nothing ends
Like a funeral.
A simple type
Of dark words
Closing in on my face.
Stumbling along the sidewalk
