trio of gaslights whispering
sleepless shoemaker
sitting on bench
reading broadside
pondering question
of whether
what we do or do not know
will or will not
kill us
an army of amphibious fishmen
rise from the river
and drag the man in
while offering them shoes
in his hysteria
his hunchback wife
figures another woman
& is forever waiting
at the door
with a shoe
to pound him
on his return
bats twist through the mist
dark in the maple moonlight
a lonely wolf howls
