Bats
In black silk kimonos
With mulberry eyes
Found blanketing the caves
By the seas
In delicious darkness
Waiting to prey

Silent flight.

Dusk is upon thee,
Silhouetted,
Ag ainst the moonlight,
Swooping hither
Diving thither,
No birds fly
Nothing flies,

Vampire Dance

When aroused, a furry creature

drops from a rafter

Flying like birds
But not identified with birds
Shaped like rats
But not numbered with rats
I looked for you in the day
But Bats

Silhouettes dance in moon's reflection,
Choreogr aphed with sheer perfection.

In darkness fly these winged creatures,
Ebony
