A Leaping Poem
By: Anonymous
Pounding
The bulbous, damp shapes
Pounding upon my windows and doors
Yet my entertainment persists
The soft blues and purple hues
My only marker of sundown
Until I awake once more
Pounding
They are pounding of my doors and windows
Disfigured faces calling,
Begging for an in to my abode
Howl as they might
I do not stray from my covers and book
A thin sheen of sweat greets my forehead
As I cry out rejections of countless requests for entry
Until my throat
Gasps
I jolt with such force
My book falls
From the clams I call hands
My window outside is bare
The slowly drying pavement
Shows dully below
My only reminder
Of the once calm and inviting night
