IN THE NIGHT – II

 

Waiting in the hollow night
infertile silent
darkness that could be called
peaceful if not
for clashing war
clanging chaos
dissonant in voice
poisonous intent

Waiting in the full night
fertile resonant
vibrations that could be called
blessed if not
for whispering schisms or
swingeing slams
insidious inflection
impotent embrace.
