La Nuit

Why that grimace on your face?
Every time you try to smile
It seems like a cage is opening inside you
What animal will come out of it?

You uttered the deadly words
That make the present moment ephemeral
You crawled out of your shroud
To dive deeper into the river of time

Listen to the voices of the night
Howling with endless hunger
Now you see in the night
Now your claws are out
