Tales from the Moonlit Path

Shaken by Lauren McBride

 

 

                           Sometimes     rough

                  wind         howling           through     

           trees         unleashes         their        inner     

       monsters –      fingered    branches      reaching           

           down     to    scratch     at     windowpanes,    

                    long          limbs           leaning      

                          to    tap    on    rooftops  

                              until sturdy trunks

                                straighten  like    

                                    backbones 

                                       at dawn;  

                                      the  only 

                                    lingering

                                   signs of

                            mischief    gutters

                         brimming with leaves.
