The Shadow Dog
January 24, 2015
A shadow dog flies and
flows, a fallen angel burnished with
the tendrils of the moon's delicate
rays, darkness ever deceitful.
An inky tail disappears into the night, wiles
Of blackness flash and blind my
eyes, absence of light my foe.
Hands tear at crushing gloom, outstretched
above barbed rock, misty ghosts fluttering beneath
treacherous feet, the
dog lost in the embrace of a shadow tree
