wait

the dark?

a safety net

for a nest of bunnies

the rustling?

a doe

grazing with her fawn

the light?

stars

millions of them,

lighting up the sky

nighttime?

peaceful.

wait.

that’s not right.

the dark?

a horrible shroud

of evil

the rustling?

footsteps

they’ve followed me

the light?

skyscrapers

or maybe their flashlight?

nighttime?

i can’t be out here

i’ve got to go.
