Nightstallions

Moon hides from the brewing storm
Earth shudders as lightning forms
and stars weep from the heart's eye
Demons crawl closer
watching souls wither to the wind's howl
while clouds burn blisters on tormented skies
Floor and ceiling seem circling wolves
pressing strangler's hands
upon the throat from behind
Sewer rats climb and corpse flies swarm
as clocks scream: there's no more time
grim shadows paint fresco's from blood
Trapped in a corner poor Kitty
considers her sharpest claws
before the nightstallions rage
towards wilderness end
and the heady salvation
of dawn
