Night Files Its Teeth



Night Files Its Teeth

 

The night files its teeth.

It feasts on dead

small carcasses.

Its mouth is wide and

each shoulder strong.

It is screaming all

night at the bad news.

Night is not playing.

Last night it howled like

coyotes and wolves.

There was no light.

The night filed its teeth.

It looked at me.

I prayed for sunlight.
