THE TRICKSTER'S GAME
.light a candle
Or a match
For in the
Dark
It's hard
To play
The catch up
Game...
It covers
You whole
The Dark, does
Like a blanket
It rolls
You
Inside its
Folds...
You fumble
To get free
Only to
Fall
Let a lamp
Be lit
Lest your feet
Trip
In the
Blackness
Of your surroundings...
Where children
Are afraid
And way
Of the invisible
Snatcher
Dwelling in
The lightless place!
Beware! Beware!
The Dark
Is a trickster...
It makes you
Hear and see
Things
Alive in stories
Alone.
You shall scream
And your heart
Shall go
Boom
In a Dark
Room!
