Symptoms and Shades

Don't be scared of the night,

Night's only a symptom of time.

Feeding on your beloved life,

Over torn, lost, burnt silver clouds 

Fields cower into winter slumbers

As jackals step out of pits to howl

Mute trees lend ears to whispers

A thousand cracks line the ground.


The encircled prey kicks at a stone

A slice of hope lights up the grass

Razor teeth land on the calf

And thirsty grass bathes in blood.

The voice speaks softly to the dew

Are you not afraid of the dark?
