Night

Devils leaning on windowpanes

Just eyes

And teeth

And tails

Fangs and scratches

Death and dread

Deepest fears unveiled

Crouching tigers, hidden dragons

Behind rocks

And roots

Of coils

Paws and fire

Strength and myth

Neither faith or hope is loyal

Circles spiral before your eyes

Nine levels

Of hell

And fear

Screams and grasping

Hands and nails

You guide will not appear

Shadows dancing in the dark

They wait

They whisper

They hide

Gray and darkness

Cold and chill

Their clutches deep inside
