Night Crawlers
Chapter 3
03/17/2024
They traffic in weeds and greed and unkept gardens
The cracks in between where love lacks
Face of lies – restless roamers
Looking for a cry
Some façades of normal
Ever sold out to some other power
Waifs sorely lost to wander together
Trios to empower each to the other
Ghostly and ghastly with greenish fumes
Night crawlers in the neighborhood
Far afield to steal something real
Empty and howling in the night
Nothing nice nothing real
Darkness that persuades and
Degrades to utterness
