“What Walks By Night by Stewart Stafford Jealous looks at earthly prowl, Or unbound by fleshly form, Seen under darkness’ cowl: Agitated ghost or hellspawn? Violence torments it from sleep, Or trapped inside by exorcist bait, Hexed glances corrupted, weep, As redress or perdition state. Jinxed trails of ashen flame, Unheard wails for living aid, Or gatecrash our human frame, As night and sunrise trade. © Stewart Stafford, 2023. All rights reserved.” — Stewart Stafford
What Walks By Night by Stewart Stafford
Jealous looks at earthly prowl,
Or unbound by fleshly form,
Seen under darkness’ cowl:
Agitated ghost or hellspawn?
Violence torments it from sleep,
Or trapped inside by exorcist bait,
Hexed glances corrupted, weep,
As redress or perdition state.
Jinxed trails of ashen flame,
Unheard wails for living aid,
Or gatecrash our human frame,
As night and sunrise trade.
