Here,there be Dragons

Night threw its cloak
around the bed
covered the lurking demons
and said;
"Time to sleep,if you may
forget the guilt".
Three o clock
the silence spoke
"What is that shadow
by the door"
"Why does it lurk
in the dark?"
"Who is is for?"
The clock struck four
Time to sleep,if you can
forget the guilt
The silence sadly shook its head
The silence said;
"You persist in resisting
being yourself"
"Who are you?"
I thought of a crow
on a fence,once.
An old black crow
still bright of eye
who winked at strangers
as they passed by.
The clock never reached five
Damp sunlight stretched itself
around the room
flicked fingers into corners
embraced the brittle borders
and said it was noon.
Two strangers met again.......
