Lineaments

"Fifteen feet into the night
Just seconds from the edge of light
Echoes darkly footsteps retreating
Or is just my heart that's beating?

"A whisper of windfall in the air
Descends on me without a care
As I contemplate the frigid moon
Moaning out its lonesome tune

"A vision dances across the floor
Silhouetted at the door
I close my eyes, wishing away
The torturous tricks my eyes will play

"And so the window beckons me
And I strain my eyes so I may see
Fifteen feet into the night
Just seconds from the edge of light"
