Poetry: Night

Silly boy and little girl lost
Twitching feet and dirty hands crossed

Eying her with pockets upturned
Nodding head and stomach churned.

Taking her in - body and soul
Lapping up gravity from a water bowl.

Chewing her gum and blinking like mad
Scribbling out an idea that she had once had

Watching him drawing - there in the dirt
Spattered mud pies all over his shirt.

Taking in sunlight, but witching the moon
He was bent toward the earth with a filthy spoon.

Caught late in the night and just before frost
Silly boy and little girl lost.

    From the dawning of the ages,
    I serve as nemesis to light,
    a mystery for sages,
    and for some the cause of fright,
    In my veil
