countless midnights
unsleeping
spent walking quietly
in the darkness
enjoying the comforting solitude
the night affords
but this night
something
earthbound
some thing prowls
shadows rustle
haunt and growl
nerves jangle
shivers careen down my spine
panicked
I run
alone
in the black
imagining a stampede
of horns and teeth
of maggots swarming beneath skin
some thing grabs hold
squeezing
screams
from my unwilling throat
chocking
sobbing
I strain
I break in two
sins run red

mutiply my body into darkness
