Poetry - 2006

a reading for Marina Sosolovski by Lloyd Godman

When the night mists rise

Mysterious in the dark depths of imagination
hunt the shadows of darkness
wolf of the night has open eyes
wide enough to swallow the days hot sun
in the zone of nocturne noir
an echo of light – the moon - a street lamp –
casts no shade of illumination
only enough to merge deep shadow with darkness
create dark spectres with cloaks of velvet black
fearful figures withoutsubstance

Achluophobia steeps forward to greet you
