long day
young night
phantoms rise
on the checker board
.
finger tips move
tracing the path
a few killed
a few born
.
some pawned
some taken
none given
.
veils drop
shadows split
spirits merge
.
mind hangs
upside down
blind as a bat
.
no moves left
in the graveyard
the raven takes wings
in search of a moon
.
the bat still hangs
upside down
from her beak
.

is this some kind of lullaby?
diipo: :))) no, my friend, this is not a lullaby...kids will have nightmares :)
very surreal
I know that you have a penchant for nocturnal creatures..... But at least choose something that perches in normal positions....(owl for eg;)
Have to say that it rakes up the darker side of my mind! well written.
