In The Mourning
Be careful
before you leave
dark is the stairwell
no one will see .
Movement outside
crush gravel sound
trying for quiet
standing out proud .
Feeble shadows
cast thin , lunar night
they touch the window
then crawl out of sight .
The sound of a handle
being turned
your life a candle
it flickers and burns .
I hope you make
the red dawning
before it's too late
for you in the mourning .
