NIGHTCRAWLER.1
It’s the vacant streets,
The hurried feet
Street lights polish quiet terror.
Like beacons I crowd under.
The closest thing to sanity I have
Black water roots like fingers,
Across a mired mind
Uncertainty sewn on swollen feet
Misery with no company,
Pacing endlessly
If everything we see is light?
Oh my shadow,
Why you haunt me at night?
