| The bump in the night. A thunderstorm. What is it that creeps between the raindrops? |
|
What is it?
What could it be?
What is that sound?
I hear the bump....
In the middle of the night!
I sit up straight
Open my eyes
What is it?
Quiet panting...
Quiet murmer...
On the roof...
In the yard...
I hear the dogs outside alarmed
Hiss hiss, slither, slimy
Slither, slipper
Something's climbing
Scratchy, screechy
Crying
Wailing
As if every cat were ailing
Raindrops dropping
Plopping plopping
Lighting striking
It's so frightening
In the sky
And in my eye
I spot the darkness
So near by
Standing right...
outside...
my window...
... and it was staring back at me!
AND IT WAS STARING BACK AT ME!
THE LIGHTNING FLASHED
AND IT WAS GONE....
never to be seen again
but every time there was a storm...
I feared the shadow...
The dark and slimy shadow....
THE LIGHTNING DEMON!
