Bump in the Night
I ask your forgiveness. I am not a poet, it isn’t often that something like what you are about to experience comes over me. All I can say is I was thinking of the phrase Bump in the Night but a story just wasn’t coming with it. I had sounds and thoughts but nothing else. Well, in that whole mess we find a place that seems a bit unusual, at least for me at any rate.

Creek groan snap
Tarp over the woodpile
Baying hounds
Moon breaks horizon
Ba-dum ba-dum ba-dum
Heart beats faster
Shuffle click shuffle click
Shoes on pavement
Grave yard dirt
rotting flesh
vise like grip
chill embrace
searing pain rending tearing
oblivion
